See Geo Soctomah Neptune’s Work Live During the Powwow: May 7, 2022
Geo Soctomah Neptune is a member of the Passamaquoddy Tribe from Indian Township, ME, and a master basket maker, drag queen, activist, educator, and two-spirit–and indigenous cultural, spiritual, a gender role that holds the sacred space between masculine and feminine energies.
Learning primarily under their grandmother Molly Neptune Parker, Neptune has been waving since they were four years old. At age twenty, Geo became the youngest person to receive the title Master Basket Maker. After graduating from Dartmouth in 2010, they returned home and began developing their individual artistic style of whimsical and historically informed basketry and woven jewelry.
Geo has worked within Wabanaki communities and Maine schools on issues of cultural preservation the state’s Indigenous History educational mandate. Their activism has enabled them to travel the world and share contemporary issues faced by Indigenous peoples including their own journey toward embracing the sacred role of the two-spirit: a keeper of tradition and teacher of Passamaquoddy and other Wabanaki youth.
The Advancing Pathways team is overjoyed by the opportunity to bring Geo Neptune ’18 back to campus during powwow weekend.
