Shaawan Francis Keahna is a writer and independent researcher based out of Baltimore, Maryland. His work centers around family history as a locus for nation-building, anti-lifestyle cultural criticism, divestment from the attention economy, and dreamscapes.

Shaawan Francis Keahna (shah-wun fran-sis key-aw-nuh) is an enrolled member the White Earth Band of Minnesota Ojibwe and a descendent of the Meskwaki Nation. His work has been published most recently in Tension Literary, the Hoxie Gorge Review, matchbooklitmag, and is forthcoming in the Indigenous horror anthology Never Whistle at Night II: Back for Blood.

His work catalogues our narcissistic death-drive towards perpetual childhood, our addiction to nostalgia, and our search through the wasteland for our better selves. He is currently based in Baltimore, Maryland, with other homes in Bemidji, Minnesota, Boston, Massachusetts, and Seattle, Washington. He’s getting his degree from the University of Baltimore in I-Don’t-Know-Yet-Please-Stop-Asking, and is an alum of the Native American Media Alliance, IF/Then x Field of Vision, the 4th World Media Lab, and the Big Sky Doc Fest’s Native Filmmaker Initiative.
