Dear Community - As many of you know, I have been fully invested in helping to create a DIY punk and metal community in Browning, MT by helping the Heavy Music Symposium Course, led by the amazing teachers and administrators in Browning Public Schools and members of Firekeeper Alliance.

My mission is to help give hope and to help the young folks build a creative outlet and space to foster community, pride, and most of all - options. The suicide rates in this area are staggering. The more time I spend with these young folks, I feel like it has become my calling to help wherever I can.

I believe that passing on music/art/creative industry skills and knowledge is our responsibility. We cannot expect the ethos of DIY community to continue unless we pass on those instructions to the next generations!

I am raising funds to assist the students of Buffalo Hide Academy - a school located in Browning, MT on the Blackfeet Nation - to develop and create some awesome creative DIY projects. These students will participate in the Fire in the Mountains Internship Program - a program developed to give real, onsite experiences working at a music festival, in real time, with real industry professionals!

I am asking for funds to complete a few projects that are both part of the internship program and school projects.
