Director @Worldsmart

Portland, OR, US

WorldSmart is a nonprofit dedicated to the free extension of knowledge in the liberal arts, and focused upon raising up Indigenous voices, ways of knowing and being.My role in WorldSmart, although beginning with my work as a founding member, has evolved to Indigenous consultation and planning services for the organization. My own studies in anthropology, as well as my lived experience as a Cherokee citizen, allows me to ground this work in deep knowledge of the issues that face Indigenous people, their cultures and their lifeways.
