Jessica Hernandez

Jessica Hernandez (Maya Ch’orti’ & Binnizá) is a transnational Indigenous scholar, scientist, and community advocate based in the Pacific Northwest. She has an interdisciplinary academic background ranging from marine sciences to forestry. Her work is grounded in her Indigenous cultures and ways of knowing. She advocates for climate, energy, and environmental justice through her scientific and community work and strongly believes that Indigenous sciences can heal our Indigenous lands. Her first book, Fresh Banana Leaves: Healing Indigenous Landscapes through Indigenous Science, is a collection of her family’s stories interwoven with historical accounts and other case studies of Indigenous land stewardship and activism.
