Jade Konwataroni, Kanien’kehá:ka from the Mohawk territory of Kahnawà:ke. Generally identifies as two spirit and uses she/her pronouns. Her previous studies of First Peoples and currently Nursing, have surrounded hide work and preservation, Indigenous food sovereignty and traditional means of seed saving, planting and harvesting our foods and medicines, as well as youth engagement with her work in Nunavik, Eeyou Istchee and her own community.  Generally she is all about health and healing within Indigenous perspectives. Learning ways to hold her Indigenous identity alongside her queer identity in the same space, and that bringing all of herself to the table has allowed her to braid meaningful relationships with others, finding community and kin.
