Want a green career but worried you'll have to compromise your values? Andrea Everett from the Pueblo of Ysleta del Sur shows there's another way.
Andrea shares how she turned her midnight business decision into MatriARC PROJECTion LLC, a drone and GIS mapping company that serves communities instead of extracting from them. She reveals why she turns down high-paying work that doesn't align with her Pueblo values, and how that actually attracts better opportunities.

She reveals why she turns down high-paying work that doesn't align with her Pueblo values, and how that actually attracts better opportunities.
You'll also hear the inspiring story of how a group of Pueblo women came together after Feast Day to reclaim their traditional farming roles. They secured land, built two hoop houses, and are now growing ancestral seeds: Hopi corn for ceremonies, Pueblo chiles, tobacco, and marigolds for Day of the Dead. Healing in community while creating a foundation for the next generation.

Why staying true to your values attracts the right work
Starting a business with just faith and a grant that showed up unexpectedly
How youth learned to fly drones while connecting with sacred sites and elders

Why healing happens in community, not isolation
The power of starting small, even a few plants in pots
