As an LPIM, Chenae contributes to her clients' and partners' social and environmental competence by improving their understanding of the natural world and preserving the original physicians' ancient wisdom and sacred knowledge of enhanced healthcare under religious tribal law. Following her ancestors’ footsteps as whalers and business leaders, the foundation of her work has been based on the resurgence of the traditional canoe culture of the northeast coastal Algonquin communities. She has organized historically sacred paddles in the ancient waterways of the northeastern seaboard. Some of her most recent work has led her to assess for signs of submerged cultural history for the Atlantic Shores Cultural Core Analysis. She successfully helps global initiatives facilitate coordination and collaboration among governmental entities and stakeholders to enhance the vitality of our region’s ocean ecosystem.

After working at many accredited Indigenous museums such as the Shinnecock Indian Museum and Cultural Center, Plimoth Plantation, and Mashantucket Pequot Museum and Research Center she recognized the urgent need for more Indigenous consulting firms. Beginning her life’s work in the world of arts, anthropology, and Indigenous studies, she has always been engulfed in research and amplifying the voices of Indigenous Peoples.

Most recently, Chenae became a published author of her book, “50 Plant Medicines: Indigenous Oral History & Perspective” which invites readers into a journey of learning about plant medicines historically used by Native tribes. Chenae’s mission is to illuminate the view and understanding of Indigenous people through cultural competency in government and environmental spaces, brand partnerships and pure connectivity to what she values most, humanity.
