Chayton Remle (Hunkpapa Lakota) has been active in efforts to protect the environment and steward Indigenous rights, treaty rights and ancestral lands for most of his life. He has engaged in these efforts in various ways, such as attending rallies and marches, creating petitions and speaking out about issues in public forums. Through his involvement with Clear Sky, a unique volunteer- and youth-centered program of the Urban Native Education Alliance, he has participated in projects and advocacy work that directly benefit urban Indigenous learners, educators, families and the wider community.
