Summary
I am an Ojibwe (Turtle Mountain Band; Enrolled Citizen), Dakota (Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux Tribe), Lakota (Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe). I am active in community-based participatory research with American Indian and First Nations communities in the US and Canada, focusing on research projects across social, behavioral, and environmental health. Specifically, my primary line of research considers the social, political, and ecological determinants of Indigenous health, as well as the intersection of climate justice and Land-based healing within Indigenous communities. I have co-authored several manuscripts and book chapters on the impacts of climate change to Indigenous health, particularly mental health. I currently live on my Dakota and Anishinaabe traditional homelands in St. Paul, MN.
