About me
Bridgette (Jamestown S’klallam Tribe) joined Mother Nation in 2023 to assist Elder Arlene Red Elk with the Yeha:wi Healing Journey. She is a member of the Jamestown S’klallam Tribe and a holistic nutritionist currently studying plant medicine and indigenous food pathways. Bridgette worked for her Tribe for several years, helping her Elders as a case worker. Prior to moving to the PNW, she worked on the reservation for the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation while living in North Carolina and learned more about the disproportionate health outcomes for Native Americans. This became the focus in her career and she continues to work on her research using trauma-informed care to identify culturally tailored public health approaches to reduce health disparities and improve health equity for Native communities.
