My name is Brittany Woods-Orrison, I am Koyukon Denè and I’m from the village of Rampart, Alaska that sits alongside the Yukon River. The school shutdown when I was going to start kindergarten, instead I spent summers living the subsistence fishing lifestyle with my family and winters in Fairbanks, Alaska attending elementary school. I went to Sitka, Alaska to attend Mt. Edgecumbe High School and went to Menlo College in Atherton, California where I wrestled for the women’s program and earned my psychology degree. Now I’m on a journey road-tripping around Turtle Island connecting with relatives, learning about the land, listening to stories, and telling my own stories while working remotely as a broadband specialist.
