I’m Shalynn Bird, a Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara (MHA Nation) dancer, content creator, and cultural ambassador dedicated to celebrating the beauty of indigenous traditionans while building bridges across all cultures. Over the past year, I’ve built a community of 54,000 followers who share my passion for dance as a force for connection, healing, and understanding.

My platform celebrates powwow traditions — the drums, the regalia, the stories passed down through generations — while honoring the universal truth that every culture has its own sacred movements.
