Introduction

Tamara Eagle Bull is a Native American architect from South Dakota. She is one of the few licensed architects of Native American descent in the States and promotes culturally relevant and responsible architecture and design. She is known for her over 30 year years of experience at her self-established firm that tackles Native issues: [expand].

Early Life

Tamara EAgle Bull was born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, as a member of the Oglala Lakota nation. She was inspired by her father to become an architect, wanting to address the lack of female and Native American architects. She graduated from Arizona State University in 1987, where she got her Bachelor of Science of Design in Architectural Studies and then from the University of Minnesota in 1993 with her Masters of Architecture.

Career

After she graduated from the University of Minnesota, she became a member of the American Indian Council of Architects, and prompted the expansion of the AIA from a tiny conclave of ideas by a few Native American members, to a national organization. She also helped nurture understanding between the AIA and the National Organization of Minority Architects. She established and became the president of her firm, Encompass Architects, in Lincoln, Nebraska where she has gained over 30 years of experience.

Projects

Many of Eagle Bull's projects focus on Native American current events and issues. One of her projects includes the Gila River Indian Community Governance Center in Sacaton, AZ. Her vision for the project was tribal sovereignty depicting two nation's cultures [expand]. She is currently in the process of creating a memorial for the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890. The site is sacred to the Oglala Nation and currently has no memorial; it only has a sign and local museum nearby run by a non-tribal authority.

Awards

Eagle Bull won the 2018 Whitney M Young Jr. award for her achievements in the field of architecture [expand]. She recently spoke at the 2018 AIA Conference on architecture about [expand].
