Proud enrolled member of the Blackfeet Nation.  I am passionate about my community, Native history, and Native advocacy.  In 2023, I started a small business over at littleplume.com where I created a calendar with Native content such as Native icons, Native history, and days of importance.  I have sold over 300 calendars and probably gifted as much :D

 

Despite growing up low income supported by welfare and food stamps, I was taught the importance of education by my mother who was a housekeeper.  I have a Computer Science Bachelor of Science degree with a Minor in Math and obtained a Project Management Professional certification early in my career.  

​ 

My "I'd rather be called Native" Tik Tok has been viewed by millions globally across different platforms sparking discussions of history, Native identification, Native terms, erasure, and colonization among a diverse group of people including educators and historians.
