I am Neetsaii Gwich’in (Alaska Native) and Jewish from a small mountain village in Northeast Alaska called Vashraii K’oo. From a young age I chose to follow a path that has challenged me to look within myself and into history, so that we can build something healthier for the future generations.

My wife Enei Begaye Peter is Navajo from Shonto, Arizona. We support culturally based leadership and sustainability projects in Alaska and the Southwest through the Indigenous Leadership Institute and the Black Mesa Water Coalition. I am also the owner of an Alaska based consulting firm called Gwanzhii, LLC.

This is my personal website. I created it as a place to share my writing, thinking, and views with the world.

Blessings on your path.
