Founder - 4 Directions Brotherhood

Tribe/People - Osage Nation (Wahzhazhe) & Southern Indigenous Decent

I lost my Gram July 15th, 2020 to cancer. She was the biggest positive influence in my life, and i wanted to do something to honor her. She always worked to help indigenous people in her community, and even fostered two siletz boys that needed homes, and raised them. I’m proud to say that i have continued in her path to make a difference. To look back on where we began, and where we are right now is a great feeling, and i am thankful for all my 4DB Family.

I’m a student advocate for 30,000 students, and one part of the "Bid of Peace community Garden." I’m one of the first natives to bring indigenous classes to the school system in over 150 years. I enjoy helping native relatives, and elders while representing the 4DB.

I joined up around two years ago. The 4DB came to me during a rough time, and really helped me out. I started off as our web designer, and was eventually asked if i would like to be a part of the Council Team. I am proud to be 4DB.

Treasurer - 4 Directions Brotherhood

Tribe/People - Indigenous Ally

I found myself in Southeast Arizona in 2013, and in spite of being able to wake up each morning and see Cochise Head in the Chiricahua Mountains, I was shocked at the conspicuous absence of indigenous people on these lands named after them. I started learning what had happened and what continued to happen to the people and wanted to help wherever I was able. Through TikTok, I got to meet Jumping Bear and several others in this community, and i’m honored to have been invited to be a part of the 4DB.

Community Recruiter

Tribe/People - Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

I joined 4 Directions because on the surface it seemed like a fun group to engage with, but found it to be more of a family the more we all opened up to one another. The most vital thing about being Indigenous is community. Having it, helping it, growing it, growing with it, and that's what I've found here.
