About Valarie Jackson

I'm Ojibwe and Sahaptin, I was raised by my Ojibwe families from the White Earth and Red Lake Nations, in the Pacific Northwest around my Father's Yakama/ klikitat N'chiwanapum people. My Father was a hereditary Chief and he was brought up that way, he was also known to have known my great grandfather Chief Tommy Thompson, as my uncle Johnny Jackson, aka Jumbo Jackson told me. I'm also a descendant of Sally Wahkiacus(klikitat) the well known basket maker, she has baskets in the Smithsonian Museum. She was known for the Sally bags. (Hemp horse bags) My Father was also a horseman, a hunter and Fisherman, dipnetter, from the Spearfish Clan. (my email- [email protected])
