Dai Estes, Hello all! My name is Ayuthea LaPier, I am Hanis Coos from my maternal lineage and Amskapi Pikuni/Blackfeet as well as Tlingit (Chookeneidi clan) from my paternal lineage. My communities guide my work in cultural arts, organizing, and land management. As an Indigenous Fire Practitioner I believe in the power of fire to restore the health of the land, as well as the people. My favorite experiences have been witnessing youth reclaim these tools and find roles within restoration and conservation. Fun facts about me: I love canoe life, collecting vintage beads, and I can code!
