Biography last reviewed .
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.
Advocacy recognition and screen work, 2023–2025
Chasinghorse was named a USA Today Women of the Year honoree in 2023 for her environmental and Indigenous-rights advocacy. She has continued combining modelling with documentary work, appearing in and co-producing "Walking Two Worlds" (2022), which won Best Documentary Short at the Santa Monica Film Festival, and narrating "Bad River" (2024), which earned a Critics’ Choice Documentary Award nomination for Best Narration, and "The American Southwest" (2025).
Recent record
Chasinghorse fronted Stella McCartney’s "Chapter Two" Summer campaign in 2024, continuing a client list that has also included Vogue Japan, V Magazine, Elle and Porter. She remains represented by IMG Models.
