Ryan Pleune

Ryan honors the natural and inherent beauty of human migration while still being accountable to repair settler colonial oppression and border imperialism. He resides on stolen native land, Tsêhéstáno (Cheyenne) and Hinono'eino (Arapaho) unceded territory and works towards reconciliation through Land Back initiatives.

Ryan has taught and facilitated ecological literacy since 1998 both inside and outside the formal classroom with ages 5 through 18. He advocates for student achievement to be measured equally through mastery of academic skills and content, high-quality work, and character.
