Learning his Roots: Lipan Apache artist, educator, and cultural practitioner tells his story

This week, we hear from Timoteo Ikoshy Montoya —a Lipan Apache artist, educator, and cultural practitioner who shares how he followed the quiet pull of ancestral memory. From growing up in Corpus Christi surrounded by stories of Native identity, to learning traditions through ceremony and family revelations, Montoya takes us through the journey of reclaiming who he is and where he comes from.

Here’s Timoteo, in his own words.
