Andie Wall

Environmental Coordinator @ Kodiak Area Native Association

I grew up in Kodiak a fisherman, tide pool explorer and nature lover. I moved away to attend school in Bellingham Washington. I got a degree in Environmental Science and Communication Studies so I could learn how to better communicate environmental issues to a larger audience. I came back to Kodiak three years ago and am honored to have a job working with Kodiak Tribes on their environmental priorities.

She served two years with the AmeriCorps VISTA program, first coordinating and writing a county health improvement plan in rural Oregon, and second, coordinating tribal home modification projects with the ANTHC Healthy Homes Program. Bailey joined the ANTHC Contamination Support Program in February 2017, and loves working with Brownfields/Tribal Response Program coordinators across the state. In her free time, Bailey enjoys baking, canoeing, skiing, berry picking, and ceramics.

Brandie Radigan

Program Administrator @ Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium

I am first and foremost a proud mother of three sons: Canute, Aengus and Jesse. I have lived in Alaska most of my life with the exception of university and enjoy an active Alaskan lifestyle. I attended University in South Dakota where I earned a BS in Biology, a BS in American Indian Studies (and was honored to learn from direct members of AIM Wounded Knee 1973 as professors and lecturers) and upon returning home twelve years ago, an Associate’s degree in early childhood development from UAF. I grew up in a true Alaskan lifestyle, harvesting meat from a very young age. I was always fascinated with the woods, rivers, animals and spent hours in them in winter and summer trying to memorize everything I could about the plants and animals and was known as quite a horseman and tracker as a young girl. (Now I just try to remember what I went into the room for.) I was adopted into the Kluti Kaah tribe by my grandparents Harry and Ruth Johns at home in Copper Center and later in life on the Pine Ridge Reservation, into the Oglala Lakota tribe by my father Sam Two Bulls. I learned valuable lessons from these elders that led me to dedicate my life to working with tribes. I am a proud Irish American and spend time at home in Kerry/Cork, Ireland whenever possible, my culture calls to me and if I don’t get back every summer I feel a deep longing and heartache. As I walk the ground my ancestors walked so long ago I understand the value that culture has for a person. I enjoy performing Irish music, reading, fishing, hiking, kayaking, hunting, making jelly and working with children. For me the greatest reward is seeing a child come to believe in themselves.

Casey Sixkiller

Administrator for EPA's Region 10

Casey Sixkiller brings two decades of experience working at the federal, Tribal and local levels with demonstrated experience crafting practical solutions to complex policy problems. He has led large, complex organizations, defended Tribal sovereignty and treaty rights, and secured millions in federal funding to meet local needs.
Prior to joining EPA, Casey served as Deputy Mayor of the City of Seattle — the first Indigenous person in the city’s history — where he directed daily operations for the 18th largest city in the United States with an annual budget of $6.5 billion and 12,000 employees. As Chief Operating Officer for King County, he managed nine department leadership teams, including Metro Transit (the 7th largest transit system in the US), public health, human and community resources, the regional wastewater and parks systems. He brought lean management tools to advance continuous improvement, accountability and transparency.
Through his work as a private consultant, Casey provided executive leadership and growth strategy to a broad client base, including local governments and Tribes, non-profits and businesses, translating vision into innovative strategies and measurable outcomes. Casey started his career in public service working for then-U.S. Rep. Jim McDermott and later U.S. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington.
An enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation, Casey helped launch the Cherokee Nation’s Washington Office in 2001, serving as the Nation’s lead advocate before Congress and federal agencies, advancing the Nation’s federal agenda. Casey is an engaged community member with a deep commitment to racial and environmental justice and a fierce advocate for tribal sovereignty and Indigenous rights.
Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Casey is a graduate of Seattle Public Schools and Dartmouth College and is the proud father of three children.
