Pronouns: she/her/hers
India grew up on Bainbridge Island, attending school next door to Islandwood at Blakely Elementary and spending weekends exploring the grand forest with her dad who sparked her interest in ecology and plant identification. She spent most of her high school years in Olympic National Park and exploring the backcountry of Washington. After graduating from BHS, she moved to Montana to attend Montana State University and study land rehabilitation management. She has been teaching skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing since she was fourteen years old and loves to share her passion for adventure, native plants, and outdoor living with any campers who come her way!
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.
