Kara Briggs (Sauk-Suiattle) has spent decades telling stories—first as a journalist, now as a poet.
A resident of the Tulalip Reservation and a descendant of the Yakama Nation, she has worked with tribes from Arizona to Alaska, advocating for Indigenous communities and their connection to land and water.
