Trevino Brings Plenty is a Lakota Sioux (Mnikȟówožu) poet and musician, who was born on the Cheyenne River Sioux reservation.[1][2] He currently serves as Coordinator of Native American Student Services at Portland State University.[3]

Scholar Karen Poremski summarizes him as being a "Lakota poet who has lived a significant portion of his life in the city of Portland, Oregon, in a post-Relocation atmosphere of people from different communities and traditions coming together to resist colonization and express Indigenous art."[4]

In 2015, his music was featured in the Indigenous video game Invaders, a remix of Space Invaders. The music was described by scholar Deborah Madsen as "an intricate reinterpretation of the original game music within the context of survivance"[5]
