EPIC 2025

Learning to be a good relative is all about love, respect and humility. Adding to that being a teacher with specific curriculum demands and an interest in human development, I turned to designing an engaging and friendly, very visual curriculum for my Native American students as a meaningful way of connecting with The American Indian Community in Minneapolis, Minnesota. New to Pine County, I now serve four school districts in the role of community culture coach. So I am back to square one on my life path---staying grounded in the work, turning to design and engagement in a friendly curriculum I call home.

"Learning to be a good relative in Indian Country" is part storytelling, part best practice, part describing the wonderful world of learning to be a good person while being a teacher and an advocate of American Indian youth.
