Hi, I’m Rachel!

My work is informed by:
My lived experience as a mixed race, White-passing, unenrolled, queer Indigenous woman living away from her ancestral homelands.
Caregiving and Community Care - the beauty, the challenges, the systems and the hope.
The Indigenous women led movement of rematriation.
The global Indigenous rights movement (past, present, future)
The climate justice movement.
The social movement elders and ancestors that carried us to today.
My Credentials:
I earned my B.A. in History with a Chinese minor from Middlebury College in 2013.
I hold a MALD in Gender Analysis in International Affairs and Human Security from The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. My graduate research focused on media representations of Water Protectors at Standing Rock.
I am currently pursuing an MFA in Creative Nonfiction at The Institute of American Indian Arts.
I am the former Editor-In-Chief of Rematriation.
I have 10 years experience working in the climate justice and Indigenous rights space as an educator, public speaker, movement builder and communications consultant.
What people say about working with Rachel:
"Rachel encouraged me to continue to develop connection to my ancestors, to land, and to my family as it is directly connected to liberation work and the dismantling of white supremacy. I often feel conflicted about what more should be done (white guilt), and Rachel helped me see that the shame is just something that gets in the way and that the change work of being in relationship and community is central to creating new futures. I feel supported and encouraged with the reflections from Rachel that I am very much in process."
