She was a part of Red Earth Descendants which is a grassroots, indigenous-based organization in the Rogue Valley that focuses on landback and education movements. Within the organization, she was a part of the group that brought the giant Grandma Aggie statue downtown that now resides in the SOU library.

Michele is going to be a speaker at the upcoming Holistic Teaching and Learning Conference in April, she plans to further introduce Native Practices within holistic education. Also in continuation of that goal, she is currently working on the role of Tribal Liaison within the Education department. She has previously held the position and has used it to get more Native people interested in becoming teachers to help teach their communities. She also continues to advocate for a required Native American Studies course for all SOU students to help break down more barriers within the institution so we can become more inclusive and anti-racist Lastly, a more personal project of hers is to make a traditional sweat lodge near SOU\u2019s campus where she can help people and students outside of the more traditional education field.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lsmgctcf-0220a2c39bcb250a2b8af4455d5c1031\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lsmgctcf-0220a2c39bcb250a2b8af4455d5c1031 .avia_textblock{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lsmgctcf-0220a2c39bcb250a2b8af4455d5c1031 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Linktree: <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/sou_ers_program\">linktr.ee\/sou_ers_program<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2k2hzfl-ea2bcee5bc6d804df194e44fe3bdd26f\">\n#top .hr.av-2k2hzfl-ea2bcee5bc6d804df194e44fe3bdd26f{\nmargin-top:0px;\nmargin-bottom:20px;\n}\n.hr.av-2k2hzfl-ea2bcee5bc6d804df194e44fe3bdd26f .hr-inner{\nwidth:50;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2k2hzfl-ea2bcee5bc6d804df194e44fe3bdd26f hr-custom  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_button_big  avia-builder-el-last  hr-center hr-icon-no'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-thin'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-22ng941-70ec594efd79bb02d962fc1d12e034d2\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-22ng941-70ec594efd79bb02d962fc1d12e034d2:hover{\ncolor:white;\ntransition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href="https:\/\/sou.edu\/academics\/ethnic-racial-studies\/" class='avia-color-dark avia-font-color-theme-color avia-button avia-button-fullwidth av-22ng941-70ec594efd79bb02d962fc1d12e034d2 avia-icon_select-no avia-color-dark'   aria-label=\"LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ETHNIC &amp;
