Native American and Indigenous Studies Initiative

Cameron Greendeer is a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin and proud father of five children and a dog named Bruno. He currently resides on Cape Cod, moving to the east coast 13 years ago, and enjoys spending time with his family, fishing, hunting, traveling and learning his culture and traditions.

Cameron earned his bachelor’s degree in Health Studies from Bridgewater State University and has worked extensively with the local tribe of Cape Cod, the Mashpee Wampanoag. His previous work includes guiding tribal students on college and career readiness, along with direct services to assist with their educational goals. Cameron’s advocacy and mentorship work for tribal students has involved parents, teachers, staff, and school committees, and included leading programs for local tribes and communities that benefited representation of tribal students and communities in school systems.

As the newest member of the NAISI staff, Cameron looks forward to connecting with and supporting Native students at Brown, along with becoming a resource for staff and faculty on various topics.
