Eryn Wise

Eryn Wise comes from the Jicarilla Apache Nation (Ollero clan) and Pueblo of Laguna (Paguate Village, Shaasrk’a). They are a community advocate centering their work around the liberation of Indigenous nations of Turtle Island— that of all people of the global majority. Ensuring a future for generations to come is a duty and responsibility to them, and they honor the traditional teachings of their predecessors by continuing to build intersectional communities in the spirit of kinship and Indigenous resurgence. They aim to do all their work in homage to their ancestors whose radical queerness, unapologetic stewardship of land and lifeway defense, and commitment to cultural preservation continue to serve as both a lighthouse and a call to action. They are a human being, just like you.
