I am Kait Hirchak, a descendant of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe/White, mixed European ancestry (Italian, Spanish, Swedish, and Slovenia, to name a few). I spent my childhood summers on my family ranch on the beautiful Wind River Indian Reservation before moving there full-time when I was 15. I attended the Wind River Tribal College and worked on the reservation for 4 years prior to pursuing my graduate training. My Mom and extended family continue to reside on the reservation in Fort Washakie. 

​

I am proud and honored to be able to carry forward the dreams of my ancestors. The work we do through the CIRCLES Collab in partnership with PRISM and other collaborators is for our remarkable Indigenous ancestors, families, and future generations.

​

Whoweehoo!
