Walk Talks with Misty Underwood

Hesci. Oske Wske cvhocefkv tos. Halito. Chahta ohoyo sia.  
 
Howdy y카지노 게임 컬렉션™all! I am Misty Underwood. I am a Muscogee and Choctaw descendent. I moved from Texas in 2010 for graduate studies. I have stayed for employment and am tremendously grateful and fortunate to be working with folks across Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s 카지노게임사이트 with the goal of growing a new pathway for Indigenous learners. 
 
The name Walk Talk comes from Akan 1992. The Walk Talk as a pedagogical practice comes from my Pokni (Choctaw for grandmother). Through our walks, my Pokni taught me how to approach the land as a relative and as my teacher. It was the foundation of how I was raised and has become a foundational element of my life and teaching practice. It is my humble hope to share her teachings by sharing this experience.
