Democracy is Indigenous
Christina Kaltsukis (she/her), also known as Mool-Mool (Muul-Muul) or “Bubbling Spring Water,” was born and raised on the Yakama reservation. She is making significant ripples in Indigenous advocacy and is currently majoring in Organizational Sciences at the University of Idaho.
She is passionate about cultural preservation, climate justice and combating the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons (MMIP) epidemic. As a former Building Communities of Hope Fellow, she also is committed to inspiring hope and fostering change within and outside of Indigenous communities.
Indigenous children who go into the foster care have no backbone for their own culture. Which in turn another one of Creators creation feel even more lost and alone. I want the foster system to be a safe haven. Whether that is doing more background work for the temporary guardians so abusers cannot abuse; or have more support in all aspects. Such as but not limited to cultural, spiritual, mental, and physical well-being of the children in foster care.
Why is Christina passionate about transforming the foster care system?
