As a proud member of the Carcross Tagish First Nation, Amatoholds certificates with honors in Education Assistance and Early Learning and Child Care from Yukon University. Passionate about amplifying First Nation perspectives in community programs, Amato collaborates with various boards and committees in the arts and education sectors. She firmly believes that decolonizing our approaches within communities can pave the way for a brighter future for generations to come. Additionally, Amato runs workshops focusing on crucial topics such as land-based education, mental health, fostering healthy relationships, and media literacy.

This May, we are highlighting our coverage of Indian boarding schools and their generational impact on Native families and Native communities. Giving survivors of boarding schools and their descendants the opportunity to share their stories is an important step toward healing — not just because they are speaking, but because they are being heard. Their stories must be heard. Help our efforts to make sure Native stories and Native voices are heard in 2024.
