Sarah Hennessey is Nimíipuu ‘Nez Perce’ poet, performer, playwright, multimedia fiber artist and youth empowerment theater practitioner. Her work highlights the symbiosis of storytelling and language reclamation and embodies language revitalization as “Targeted Revitalization through Creativity.” By integrating her penchant for literature and performance into her educational outreach, Hennesey infuses her instruction with interdisciplinary pedagogy and both traditional and contemporary storytelling techniques. Hennessey has been published in literary journals such as Yellow Medicine Review, Paper Dragon, and Pork Belly Press. Her first short play “Weet’u Naqaacnim ‘iceyeeye’ ‘Not My Grandmother’s Coyote’” was featured in Lewis-Clark State College’s Humanifest in spring of 2021. Hennessey is currently a Fishtrap Fellow.
