Lakota McRoberts

Lakota is the Garden Design Manager at the Copper River Native Association. She is passionate about “permaculture” as a practice. This means observing nature, researching tools and techniques used by Indigenous people in a specific bioregion, and engaging in a diligent, daily practice of balancing the needs of yourself and family with those of the other species around you.

During her time as a 2025 Brave Heart Fellow, Lakota plans to research regional medicinal plants and sharing findings with the community.
