I am Choctaw/Cherokee and a Fulbright Scholar. I am also an elder in Kalpulli Ehecatl, community of the wind, an Aztec dance group in the Mexica Red Tradition. I was in Aotearoa (New Zealand) to study Maori Language Revitalization and learning a lot. I have recently returned from visiting Scottish and Irish Gaelic revitalization efforts and currently live in Belize.
