About Sauyaq Solutions:

Sauyaq Solutions is an Indigenous‑led consulting practice dedicated to increasing resources, opportunities, and sovereignty for Indigenous Nations and communities. Guided by Kamagigikput Sivulliavut — “We honor our ancestors”, our work centers community‑led solutions grounded in culture, language, and future generations.

Drawing on experience across academia, the federal government, nonprofits, and direct Tribal partnerships, I bring deep expertise in Indigenous‑led research, evaluation, technical assistance, and policy development. My work spans environmental justice, climate change, food security, futures research, missing and murdered Indigenous relatives, and advancing Indigenous leadership.

Sauyaq — the Iñupiat community drum — brings people together. Sauyaq Solutions carries that spirit forward by supporting ethical, equitable, and culturally grounded work with Indigenous Peoples.
