How Bree Is Impacting Communities

Bree Reynolds now teaches science on the Spokane Indian Reservation. A doctoral student, Bree says, "I'm interested in how indigenous knowledge can be used, not only to strengthen my students abilities in science, but also their ability to live in two different worlds-because that is what they are being asked to do." Whether using traditional foods from elders to teach a biochemistry lesson or creating a physics curriculum on building the strongest pithouse dwellings, Bree helps her students see the relevance of learning good science for living out cultural traditions. Bree just received a grant for this summer that will allow students the rare opportunity to research the radioactive debris left in piles on their land from open-pit uranium mining.

Your investment in Bree's development nourished the seed of her early sense of call to connect students to science and culture. While co-directing an after school program in Spokane's East Central neighborhood, Bree used Krista Foundation grant money to build a community garden to help the kids understand their plants and foods. After volunteer service, Bree pursued her Masters from Gonzaga's Organizational Leadership Program, and then taught for two years in Saipan (Micronesia). These experiences, along with faithful involvement in the Krista Foundation community, equip Bree with distinctive skill, commitment and intercultural competence to empower her students to carry on their people's way of life.
