Haiwee Fredericks. Portrait: Indigenous Futures Society.

Double majoring in Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems and Native American Studies at UC Davis, Fredericks brings deep connections to Indigenous food systems as an active community member in Payahuunadü (the place where water flows) along the Eastern Sierra Mountains. Growing up Nüümü, Newe, & Wá∙šiw, she combines academic study with lived cultural knowledge and community engagement in Indigenous food sovereignty initiatives. Her artistic contribution to the symposium poster reflects both traditional knowledge and contemporary expressions of Native plant relationships.
