Re^Human:
An Economic Engine for Good
- 100% of net proceeds are donated to social and environmental healing projects (the amount remaining after two operating staff and guest speakers are paid humble stipends).
- In addition to teaching all who are willing to learn, we raise money through our suggested donations to support social and ecological healing projects, such as urban gardens, tribal-led ecological restoration projects, call-in parties to senators, and more. All funds go through the IINÁH Institute, an Indigenous led initiative for cultural and linguistic revitalization.
- Our course is ultimately not for profit— Re^Human exists to be in service to life as a giving force for humans, non-human relatives, and future generations. No one is turned away for lack of funds for Re^Human courses

Dr. Lyla June Johnston
Dr. Lyla June Johnston (Diné/Tsétsêhéstâhese) specializes in Indigenous Regenerative Ecosystem Design. Through the survey and study of hundreds of case studies of successful Indigenous food systems, she has developed an understanding of some of the physical and moral attributes of these land management strategies. She has traveled nationally and internationally lecturing on how humanity can learn and apply these lessons today. Dr. Johnston graduated from Stanford University with honors with a degree in environmental anthropology. She also holds a masters degree in Indigenous Teaching Methods from the University of New Mexico. Dr. Johnston also integrates the traditional teachings she grew up with to inform her perspectives and solutions. Her PhD research focused on the ways in which pre-colonial Indigenous Nations shaped large regions of Turtle Island (aka the Americas) to produce abundant food systems for humans and non-humans. She teaches alongside a beautiful network of guest speakers, elders, practitioners, and knowledge keepers.
