Good Sky Guidance specializes in the integration of Indigenous culture and knowledge into environmental initiatives and helps to guide institutions on respectful engagement with tribal communities.As the founder and CEO, I lead efforts ensure that projects, particularly those related to climate change and natural resource stewardship are guided by Indigenous voices and perspectives. In fostering relationships between institutions and tribal communities, I prioritize creating reciprocal, long-lasting relationships that respect tribal sovereignty and honor the connections with the land, water, and all our relations.

I will be providing technical and facilitation support for Tribes and Climate Change Program (TCCP) at the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP). I will be responsible for co-leading the facilitation of the second iteration of the Status of Tribes and Climate Change (STACC) report which will be focused on Indigenous and Traditional Knowledges and young leaders/youth engagement and investment.
