Consulting & Trainings

With more than a decade of reporting on Native American communities, I offer consulting and training for newsrooms, corporations, nonprofits and media organizations seeking to deepen their understanding of Indigenous communities and strengthen the accuracy, nuance and cultural awareness of their coverage and engagement.

My sessions draw from years of reporting, relationship-building and source development across Indian Country, with a focus on practical guidance: avoiding harmful stereotypes, understanding tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction, building trust with communities and approaching stories with historical context and cultural awareness.

Trainings can be tailored for journalists, editors, communications teams, executives and organizations working directly with Tribal Nations and Indigenous audiences.
