ADRIEL CLEMENTS

Born and raised in Oklahoma, I am Native American Kiowa, I attended Moore Norman Technology Center for video production and that’s where my love for the camera and video editing began. A few years after graduating Moore Norman, I started covering the Riverside Indian School’s (RIS) basketball team, and through time I added more skills to videography. Later in my volunteer work with RIS I dipped my toes into photography, I didn’t go to school for photography, many days of trial and error, hours of YouTube tutorials, and learning how to edit pictures in Adobe Lightroom. Thankfully I started to get the hang of both videography, and photography and I started attending many high school basketball, and football, games in the Caddo County areas in Oklahoma. I have been doing this for 8 years now and have been to many events outside of Oklahoma. I have attended and done contract work for the Native American Basketball Invitational (NABI) in Phoenix, Arizona, Tribe Athletics Basketball Tournaments in Kansas, Mesa, Arizona, and it doesn’t end at just sports I have also covered many Tribal events such as the Native American Veterans Memorial hosted by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian located in Washington D.C., the Denver March Pow Wow located in Denver, Colorado, and Kiowa Gourd Clan (KGC) held in Carnegie Oklahoma. I have made many connections through the years of content creation, many eyes are on my platform from college recruiters, tv producers, museum directors, tribal programs and many content creators. This platform was made for helping Youth in getting exposure, and to have eyes on Native American talent, and to have a voice that they don't normally have in these rural areas in Oklahoma.
