I won't let my disability stop me from telling our stories of overcoming adverse childhood experiences, Colonialism, and self harm via high risk lifestyle cycles. Slowly but surely.

We are excited to welcome Jake Wade, our Climate Policy Coordinator, to Sitka this summer!

Jake is originally from Fairbanks, where he grew up enjoying the beautiful Alaskan summers outdoors hiking, camping, and learning to appreciate all facets of the natural world and how we interact with it. He is a rising Junior at Yale University, majoring in Environmental Studies and Economics. Through his involvement in student advocacy groups in high school, he realized that one of the greatest threats to the Alaskan way of life are unsustainable practices and management. This summer, as our Alaska Conservation Foundation Ted Smith intern, Jake will be lifting local voices advocating for sustainable practices and working to educate and inform both Alaskans and Americans of the impact of current environmental policies.

Growing up Indian on the Reservation is like living with the thief who stole your inheritance, like paying for your groceries with buttons; that's my experience. As a writer and filmmaker, my experiences pour out my being like a slowly rising tide; I'm here. Us Natives, we are stewards of the land and all Turtle Island experiences; we orate to heal and also procrastinate. Like my mother, an unhealthy Indigenous father-like person raised me; he is who I attract(ed). To survive, I bent over backward to please him every year of my life, even after his death. I still found myself bending over, bowing to employers, bankers, friends, my husband, and anyone who stood in front of me or behind me. After years of addiction and s**t, I surrendered my life to Creator and chose to live and thrive, not just be alive.
In this book, the main character lives vicariously through me; she tells my story and many of my life experiences of being a missing Indigenous woman. Missing? I wandered this earth, not knowing who I was or my purpose. I am very thankful I fell on my face, tired of trying to quit drinking. There, I was in a space ready to heal and forgive and be forgiven. My back is still sore, but I'm not breaking it for anyone anymore. A friend told me that children who grow up in toxic and abusive homes grow up to become people-pleasers and have little to no boundaries, and that was absolutely ME and my main character, Guisy Rose Bobb.
My healing is for my mom, daughters, granny, and all the women in my family: Rise, Indigenous woman, Rise! My story and victory are yours too. This series tells my story, my husband, my mom's, granny's, dad's, and eventually, my children's and grandchildren. Stay tuned for more updates on up and additions to this series.
Love,
Zena
