Ms. Hudson’s activism lies in her quilts that tell stories of her ancestors’ experiences of the Long Walk and the missing and murdered Indigenous women that are not always welcome in Native American art collections, but she creates them anyway.

Ms. Hudson has been commissioned to create quilts for the Heard Museum and the National Museum of the American Indian. Her dreams of her ancestors inspire her to create new stories in her quilts turning this art form of activism.
