ASHE Staff
The ASHE Staff works from home offices. As such, each has begun and will continue their learning and relationships with local Indigenous peoples. Below are brief reflections on where each staff works from:
- Jason works from the lands of the Southern Paiute or Nuwu people. In his continued learning, he is inspired by local artists, entrepreneurs, environmental stewards, and future leaders.
- Brianté is privileged to work on the Indigenous lands of the Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, Cowlitz, Kalapuya, and the Confederate Tribes of Grand Ronde and Siletz Indians.
- Erin currently works and resides on the Indigenous lands of the Shawnee, Potawatomi, Delaware, Miami, Peoria, Wyandotte, Ojibwe, and Cherokee peoples.
- Naomi currently works from the Kanza great plains territory that is the native homeland of the Kaw, Osage, Pawnee, and Wichita and the nomadic tribes of the Cheyenne, Comanche, Kiowa, and Arapaho.
- Alicia resides on the traditional homelands of the Myaamia and Shawnee people, who along with other indigenous groups, ceded the lands to the United States in the first Treaty of Greenville in 1795.
