Hello, relatives! I shake your hand with a good heart. My name is Summer Dupree. I’m a Mnicoujou Lakota woman from the Cheyenne River Reservation. I’m currently a junior at Oglala Lakota College (OLC) majoring in conservation biology. I also work as a research assistant with OLC. My hopes for my work are to help preserve Uŋčí Makȟá (Grandmother Earth) and work to restore the balance between her and wičhása akáŋtu (human beings).

More About Me

Núŋpa čhiŋkšiwičhawaye. I have two sons, 4 and 5, who are the motivation behind all I do. In my free time, I enjoy being outside with them, walking, running, hiking, swimming, etc. I also like to read, listen to music, and I’m always up to learn something new!

Earth Data Science

I’m interested in building my coding skills to apply to my research project and learn about other natural resource conservation applications.
