My colonized name is Summer Afraid of Hawk, my Lakota name is She Rides a Spotted Horse. I come from the Good River, now currently known as the Cheyenne River Reservation in North central South Dakota and I live in the community of Cherry Creek, Bigfoot’s (Chief Spotted Elk) people.
ESIIL Stars Program
Through the ESIIL Stars program, I am excited to learn about creating code and how Earth Data Science can be helpful in Indian Country.
I would like to look at habitat suitability models for buffalo or I would like to compare vegitation density or diversity between buffalo pastures and cattle pastures.
