Manage episode 441595805 series 3478139
Jamie Almanzán and I are thrilled to announce today's guest on An Imperfect Leader is Superintendent Deb Smith of Fort Washakie Schools in Fremont District 21 on the Wind River Reservation, Wyoming. A proud member of the Eastern Shoshone Tribe and descendant of the NORTHERN ARAPAHO TRIBE INC, Deb has been recognized for her leadership, including being featured in the WYOMING ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS' Women Leaders series in 2023. ✨
In this conversation, we dive into Deb’s experiences growing up between two worlds, her role as a trailblazer for Native students, and her efforts to bridge cultural understanding in education. We also discuss how she’s working to meet the needs of her community and students—particularly through harvesting the collective wisdom and cultural respect.
Listen in for powerful insights on equity, leadership, and community resilience.
