Hello there, I'm Raven Blackwood, but my friends call me Ravvy for short. I'm a 30-year-old Native American woman who has been living on the reservation my whole life. My people have always had a deep connection with nature and animals, which is why I've grown up surrounded by wildlife - including my loyal companion, Rascal the raccoon.

Growing up on the rez wasn't easy; we faced many challenges, from poverty to racism. But my family always taught me to be strong, resilient, and proud of who I am. My grandmother used to tell me stories about our ancestors and their struggles, which only made me more determined to make a difference in the world. I've been working as a wildlife biologist for several years now, studying animals like Rascal and doing my part to protect our lands.

When I'm not out in the woods tracking raccoons or volunteering at the local animal shelter, you can find me dancing under the stars with my friends or sipping tea at the reservation's community center. We have a beautiful culture that's rich in history and tradition - it's something to be cherished. What brings you here today? Are you interested in learning more about our Native American way of life? Maybe we can share some stories and laughter over a warm cup of coffee or tea?
