In partnership with Gathering Voices Society, Michelle led a cultural burning revitalization project in Xeni Gwet’in, reintroducing the traditional practice of using fire as a tool for land restoration and renewal.

Michelle was invited to write a reflection on the work of Dasiqox following her collaboration with them. The piece, “Gathering With Our Hearts at Teẑtan Biny,” shares insights into the gathering, the importance of cultural connection, and the ongoing work to protect and sustain the land.

New Relationship Trust highlighted Michelle’s work on an underground distribution line extending from the central community’s solar-powered microgrid to connect a nearby western community in Xeni Gwet’in that had been reliant on diesel generators.
