Molly Bigknife Antonio, M.A.
Adjunct Faculty
Molly Bigknife Antonio has been working with youth in outdoor settings for approximately 18 years. She is the co-founder, board member and executive director of the non-profit organization, Pollen Circles, Inc.
The mission of Pollen Circlesis to promote Indigenous wellness culturally, individually, and collectively using traditional, creative, and environmental-based experiential (hands-on) learning activities and projects. Activities are intended to strengthen cultural knowledge/skills locally, inter-tribally and multi-culturally, bringing awareness and solutions to environmental and cultural issues, while nurturing one's health, creativity and self-awareness. Through the facilitation of these activities we weave together the Navajo (Diné) components of the holistic self – emotional being, mental being, physical being, and spiritual being with holistic wellness, internally and externally, as an intended outcome.
