Schools and institutions are central ecosystems that can encourage innovation using Indigenous ways of knowing to learn and share. Through his work to help improve health and health equity, Henry Jake Foreman will weave stories on ways he is bridging the gap between diverse institutions, businesses and educators to positively impact the social determinants that impact our health such as where we eat, sleep, work, and play. Henry Jake Foreman is a specialist in facilitation, development, and implementation of service learning experiences for students of all ages. Indigenous methodologies and epistemologies guide his philosophical and research approaches to working with youth and communities to promote the health of our biosphere. He recently graduated with his Masters from the UNM Community and Regional Planning program. Since graduating he has successfully completed his teacher licensure program, the Native Entrepreneur in Residence Program through New Mexico Community Capital and received 1st Place in the UNM Business Plan Competition. His diverse cultural, educational, and epistemological backgrounds provide the foundation of his passion for bridging worlds and promoting harmony and consciousness through Indigenous education. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
