A bold advocate for Indigenous sovereignty, she has influenced national discourse, securing government recognition for her people’s distinct identity.
With unwavering commitment, Tashi continues to fight for a future where Indigenous wisdom guides climate solutions—where mountains, rivers, and cultures are not just preserved, but thrive.
