Jamie provides support to un’ina, “those who come to us,” throughout their recovery, including assessments, individual sessions, group sessions, and traditional activities. She is the Drum Leader for the Heartbeat of Mother Earth Drum Group.

Jamie appreciates being able to better her people and community by providing healing and support. She loves being a part of the Heartbeat of Mother Earth Drum Group because of the healing, support, and sense of togetherness it brings to those around it.

Jamie has worked in the Tribe’s Behavioral Health program since 2018. In 2021, she started her education to become a Chemical Dependency Counselor.

When she first started working for the Tribe, Jamie was unsure what path her career would take. Through her work, she has been able to see the world from a different point of view, and is grateful for the opportunity to help others.

When she’s not serving un’ina, Jamie loves spending time with her children, grandchildren, and family. In the spring and summer, they hunt for agates, pick berries, fish for halibut from the beach, and swim at Bishop Creek. In the fall, they gather firewood together for the winter. While it is hard work, they love doing it together as a family.
