About me
My name is Ashley Wolfe, and my traditional name is White Thunderbird Woman. My maternal line comes from Peguis First Nation (modern day Selkirk and St. Peter’s, Manitoba) and I currently reside near Beausejour, in the RM of Brokenhead, and I am Wolf Clan.
I am a Land-Based Educator and the Community Coordinator at the Environmental Conservation Lab (ECL), at the University of Manitoba. I recently graduated with an Advanced Bachelor of Arts Degree, majoring in Advanced Indigenous Studies, minoring in History.
My focus in my work is decolonizing education through land-based learning, working with youth and Elders, and raising awareness about the importance of water through an Indigenous Knowledges perspective. Through the ECL, I am able to work with communities
to make water testing and environmental monitoring accessible within the community, and to encourage our next generation of land and water protectors through hands-on experience. I am also applying for my Master's work at USask.
