Delaney Schroeder-Echavarria (she/they) is a mixed-race Latine, European settler, and Indigenous descendant of the Anishinaabe/Ojibwe peoples. She is a born settler on the land of the Tongva, Acjachemen, and Payómkawichum peoples; colonially known as Orange County, California. Currently, she is a guest on the unceded land of the Wiyot people, colonially known as Blue Lake, on the shores of Baduwa’t (Mad River). As a trained horticulturist and social scientist from a colonizer/settler educational background, Delaney understands how Western academia and institutions of higher learning built on stolen land affect her body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of our human and more than human relatives. As such, she is committed to improving her understanding of decolonization, Indigenous knowledges, and feminist perspectives as they relate to her ongoing efforts to serve Indigenous communities through food sovereignty, land return, and plant relative restoration and revitalization. Currently, she is a second-year graduate student in the Social Sciences: Environment & Community Master program at Cal Poly Humboldt. She is serving as a graduate student program coordinator for the Ghvtlh-k’vsh shu'-srnelh-'i~ (Kelp Guardians) Sea Grant with the Tolowa Dee-ni’ Nation and the Rou Dalagurr Food Sovereignty Lab & Traditional Ecological Knowledges Institute.
