快活app the Speaker
Louie Gong (M.Ed) is an artist, educator and public speaker who was raised by his grandparents in the听Nooksack听tribal community. Although he is best known for his highly sought after, hand-drawn custom shoes, Louie has received international recognition for a body of work that - like his mixed heritage (Nooksack/Chinese/French/Scottish) - defies categorization.
