Misty Jefferson Email and Phone Number

I am born for Dine' and come from the Hochunk, I am an enrolled tribal member from the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. I am a Native American genealogist and an alumnus of the Little Priest Tribal College, at Winnebago Nebraska. I am currently pursuing my B.S in Business Admin/Human Resources management at Wayne State College and I plan to further my education for a doctorate degree. I have a passion for advocating, educating, and helping my Native American people. I enjoy learning and problem solving. During my working experience as a Genealogist and Enrollment director I have witnessed the lack of help for legally adopted Native American children who are presently adults who cannot be enrolled in a federally recognized tribe because lack of knowledge of Ancestral ties. I offer services for those who are wanting to seek more information regarding family trees and seeking help understanding enrollments. My focus is on the Native American community, I plan to create a curriculum/program regarding Native American families and outreach to Native American families involving decolonizing of the mind and recognizing oppression. We can come together to heal, relearn, and practice our ways. I love my people and would like to see us flourish.
