What do you do?
I'm a Job Skills Instructor for the Lummi Nation. I'm also a writer and occasional speaker, and teacher of poetry workshops.
What do you love about this area?
I love living in this region for the deep connection I have with it as an indigenous person, and for the family ties I have here. I love to look out my window at the bay and know that I am the product of thousands of generations who have lived in this place over tens of thousands of years, and that we have been nurtured and made strong by the beautiful and abundant gifts of this land and water. I feel very fortunate to have this connection to my home.
