Background Story
Alex grew up on Pine Ridge Reservation, learning traditional Lakota ways from his grandfather while excelling in school. Despite offers to work in larger cities, he chose to return home after college to address environmental challenges facing his community. He leads initiatives installing solar panels on tribal lands and teaches both traditional ecological knowledge and modern environmental science. Alex is married to Maria, a tribal social worker, and they have two children: Tate (12) and Winona (9), whom they're raising bilingual in Lakota and English. He creates traditional beadwork and drum crafts that he sells to support his family and fund community programs. Alex serves on the tribal council and frequently speaks at universities about indigenous environmental perspectives. His work focuses on combining ancestral wisdom with renewable energy solutions for tribal communities.
