Jon Greendeer is a proud member of the Ho-Chunk Nation and a student of the language and traditional way of life. As a member of the Deer Clan, he is a worker, a messenger and a caretaker of our earth. He believes that Indigenous People have thwarted genocide yet contend with a number of elements designed to erase their profound and truly unique identity. To do so, Jon helps to create positive and inclusive learning environments that are designed to strengthen the connections between the earliest ancestors of the past to youngest generation of today.
