Emma grew up on the ancestral lands of the Peoria, Anishinaabe, Potawatomi, Wyandot, and Mississauga people where they learned about love and wonder through deciduous woodlands, the Great Lakes, and the many Earthly kin who they shared time and space with. In 2021, they graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in Environmental Sciences and Neurosciences, and they are now working towards a Master’s Degree in Science Education and Curriculum at University of Washington and just finished their first year in the grad program at IslandWood! This summer, they are most excited to see all of the ways that the campus changes in the summer, and they can’t wait to learn a lot more about these lands and waters with the campers!!
IslandWood acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people, who have been stewards of this region's land and waters since time immemorial, and who continue to protect these lands and waters for future generations, as promised by the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, the Treaty of Point No Point of 1855, and the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854.
While the majority of our work takes place on Suquamish (suq̀ʷabš) and Duwamish (dxʷdɐwʔabʃ) land, we also conduct programs on the land of the Snohomish (sduhúbʃ), Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Muckleshoot (buklshuhls), Skokomish (sqoqc’bes), and S’Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) peoples.
