Early life and activism
Quannah Rose Potts ChasingHorse was born on 6 June 2002 in Tuba City, Arizona, on the Navajo Nation, to Jody Potts-Joseph, who is Hän Gwich’in, and Nathan Lee Chasing His Horse, whose Lakota family traces descent from Crazy Horse. Raised largely by her mother in a subsistence Alaska Native lifestyle of hunting, fishing and dog mushing, she lived in Arizona, Mongolia and New Mexico as a small child before moving to Alaska at six, growing up in Kenny Lake and Fairbanks.
Chasinghorse became a land-rights activist well before her modelling career: she is a fourth-generation protector of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, helped lobby the U.S. Congress in 2019 in support of legislation to protect the refuge from oil drilling, and co-authored a Declaration for Climate Change State of Emergency presented to the Alaska Federation of Natives.

Entering fashion, 2020–2022
Chasinghorse’s first modelling job came in 2020, a Calvin Klein campaign tied to youth voting, and she signed with IMG Models that December. Her second major assignment was the cover of Vogue Mexico in May 2021. Her runway work has included Prabal Gurung, Gabriela Hearst, Chloé and Savage X Fenty; in May 2022 she attended the Met Gala in a Navajo-inspired outfit and walked her first New York Fashion Week runway the same week, a moment Refinery29 described as a breakout.
