Southeastern Grasslands Institute

I am a Tribal Liaison for Southeastern Grasslands Institute working to connect Indigenous people with opportunities within SGI for Grassland Conservation. My current project area is within the Cumberland Plateau region and making connections with all tribes with current or historical ties to the Plateau. One of my main objectives is reaching out to Indigenous artists whose materials would come from grasslands such as rivercane, white oak, and sedge grasses to help work towards restoration processes and making these materials more widely available.
