In addition to my regular teaching, I do numerous speaking gigs every year including keynotes, guest lectures, seminars, panels, and webinars. I give talks on topics beyond environmental justice training as well, based on my years as a published author and Native journalist. I have written extensively on understanding Native American stereotypes, surfing and surf culture, American settler society, race and diversity, the Native American art world, and much more.
If you are interested in booking me for a speaking date, please contact me to check on my availability and fees.
