Nantai Mann

Born into the [Indigenous] ways of life, I was raised from the very beginning with drumming, singing in our Native language, and dancing as soon as I could walk and talk. Guided by my parents, mentors, elders, and community, I have carried these teachings with me throughout my life. This lifelong journey of learning, grounded in responsibility to the land and to my people, has shaped my path and led me to serve as a culture bearer for my community today.

Outside of my work, I enjoy playing guitar and creating Native music, spending time with my friends, brothers, and cousins, and traveling. The number one item on my bucket list is to go skydiving!
