More Information About Edith:
I am still self-employed as a cultural consultant, but I have recently emerged from retirement to work 40 hours a week as an Ojibwe Language Immersion Trainee. Prior to retirement, I served nearly 18 years as the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa in northern Wisconsin. I had also served two terms on the Bad River Tribal Council. My story is featured in the book, "Love WI." I have co-authored a Ph.D. dissertation with Jessica Conaway, Ph.D. entitled, Ganawendam Ginibiiminaan, which is being edited at the publishers. I am currently working with Professor Jingyi Wei of Jinan University in Guangzhou, China on the non-tangible component of Heritage Preservation. I am also a certified Grants Specialist and Grant Reviewer and am trained to become a certified Peer Specialist. I have assisted several college students on papers as it relates to Tribal Historic Preservation, Culture and History and I was recently published in the ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science as a co-author to
"Waking from Paralysis: Revitalizing Conceptions of Climate Knowledge and Justice for More Effective Climate Action, March 2022. I have provided countless interviews, including on NPR- All Things Considered, as well as numerous presentations relating to Tribal Historic Preservation to a variety of audiences, and was filmed in short videos and documentaries some are posted on YouTube.
Most recent is the full feature documentary, Bad River: A Story of Defiance which premiered at select AMC Theaters throughout the country. A new short documentary I am also featured in is the award-winning People & Wolves by Rachel Tilseth, which will be showing soon. I also work for and take care of Nibi (the Water), for future generations. Although I am working, I am still available as an Indigenous Tribal Cultural Consultant.
