Barbara is working in several cultural fields reconciling differences between tribal members between tribal enterprises and between the tribe county state and federal governments.
From a western perspective her work is that of a attorney at law and mediator. On a professional level this is in fact her position. But on a wider cultural perspective she is integrating traditional Karuk wisdom with the present legal frame work in California.
To say the least Barbara is an active member of the wider Mount Shasta area and we discover her perspective on the sacred nature of the mountain and the water. We also discover what it means to be honored as a Peacemaker for the Karuk tribe. Finally we explore personally what drew Barbara to Mount Shasta and how she came into the position she is in today.
