ABOUT OUR HOST
Kendell Joiner (Méstaéhotóá’e) is an American-born, proud member of the Northern Cheyenne Nation located in Southeast Montana. Having grown up around his tribe and culture, the values of community, unity, and the common-good are centrepiece lessons that he carries in his current role as the Chief Executive Pathfinder of the Native Clan Organization. The Native Clan Organization is an Indigenous organization that takes a culturally centered approach of healing with our relatives returning back to their communities or starting new lives after contact with western justice systems.
Kendell stumbled across multiple undergraduate degrees in Criminal Justice, Corrections, and possesses a Master of Public Administration education that he utilizes to change systems and make our world a more balanced and empathetic one. Kendell serves on over a dozen boards, advisory councils, and community groups that work to make this “modern” world a more balanced one in a number of fields and for many causes. Kendell also founded the Ghost Bull Consultancy, a consulting partner that specializes in advising public and private sector organizations in achieving balance that comes from applying an Indigenous lens to today’s administrative and logistical operations.
