As a Hocak hinuk (woman), nani (mother), sister, and relative, Jill's life purpose resides in advocating for Indigenous community healing and empowerment in research, education, and healthcare. Jill's life work and lived experience has prepared her for this role. She has experience working in non-profit, academic, corporate, and clinical settings within Indigenous communities and White-centric spaces. She has lived experience as an Indigenous woman in both urban and rural environments enhancing her diverse worldview and giving her a strong sense of grounded Indigenous voice to pursue her life purpose of helping to heal and empower Indigenous people. Her experiences pursuing a PhD at the University of Minnesota's School of Nursing as an Indigenous matriarch allowed her to develop a heightened awareness of systemic racism and oppression. She recognizes systemic racism and oppression are deeply embedded within healthcare and academia. Far too often, she sees non-Indigenous people benefit at Indigenous communities’ expense when they are rewarded as leaders and advocates of Indigenous inclusion, diversity and equity. They often publish research articles and misrepresent, misinterpret, and misguide their ‘findings’ within Indigenous communities with adverse impacts on Indigenous communities. This experience gave her a deeper call to action and sense of urgency of the need to stand her ground, speak her truth, share her Indigenous lived experience, and find comfort in uncomfortable spaces, conversations, and initiatives. This call to action led to the development of her social justice enterprise, Indigenous Visions Research and Wellness LLC, whose mission is healing and empowerment through Indigenous data sovereignty, Indigenous representation, and Indigenous visibility. She understands that we all have tremendous work to do and cannot accomplish this alone, everyone has a role to uphold social justice to generate systems change. She continues to network with others who value diverse Indigenous narratives and support this important call to action.
