Leadership, Empowerment, & Rescue | With Awanookwe Kingbird-Bratvold, Founder of Awesiinyag (Animals) Are Love
In this week’s episode, we are speaking with Awanookwe Kingbird-Bratvold, founder of the animal rescue Awesiinyag (Animals) Are Loved. Awanookwe is Ojibwe from the Red Lake Nation in Northern Minnesota and has her masters in Education and is a professor in Indigenous Sustainability Studies at Bemidji State University in Minnesota. Awanookwe is also the CARE Center Senior Director for the Northern Tier. And if you know us, you know CARE or Companions and Animals for Reform and Equity, a BIPOC led organization out of Baltimore, Maryland, with offices countrywide. We are so grateful to Awanookwe for speaking with us about her rescue organization and what it means to her and her community. She wears so many hats and is such a leader—and through trust, action, and deep collaboration with those who work alongside her and support her programs, she’s also uplifted and shared her Nation’s perspectives, beliefs, and way of life.We love talking to people and organizations that are boots on the ground, walking the walk, making moves to help not only animals in need but also the people who love those animals! I feel like the people who are hands-on and leaders in rescue, especially locally where they live, are heroes!Lots of Love.
