We invite you to join our upcoming Community of Practice event, where you can listen to a cancer survivor share their journey through survivorship. As the second CoP in this series, participants will have the opportunity to discuss and ask questions about cancer survivorship from a survivor’s perspective.

Originally from Fort Belknap, Montana, Theresa EnemyHunter (Good Horse Woman) is a proud Nakoda (Assiniboine) Tribal Member. As the Program Director, she is deeply committed to providing indigenous peoples with the resources they need for a better life.
For Theresa, this is more than just a job – it is her personal mission. Having lost family members to lung cancer and other cancers related to commercial tobacco use, she is passionate about educating others to prevent further death and disease. She also aims to instill the truth about sacred tobacco. Through her work, she honors connections to ancestors, her Tribal community, tradition, and culture.
Theresa began her career with the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council in 2018 as an administrator for the BIA Indian Child Welfare Act program. She then served as RMTLC’s budget specialist before transitioning into her role with Good Medicine Keepers in 2024.
Theresa holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Montana State University Billings and an associate degree in data processing from Aaniiih Nakoda Community College. She has also earned a Basic Tobacco Intervention Skills Certification for Native Communities through the University of Arizona HealthCare Partnership.
One of Theresa’s greatest passions is teaching younger generations cultural crafts and traditions. She presents cultural history and ribbon skirt classes to community groups and enjoys creating and teaching others how to make star quilts, dancing outfits, and beaded jewelry. When she isn’t working on a project, you can find her with her family at powwows, handgames, or other Native American events.
Kinsley WalksAlong (Ánováóó’o – Beautiful Girl) grew up in Lame Deer, Montana on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation. There, she became immersed in her cultural heritage and learned the art of creating beadwork, regalia, and quill work from her grandmothers. As an adult, she continuously seeks ways to advocate for Indigenous People. For instance, she strives to revive customs as the Traditional Cheyenne Quill Work Instructor at Chief Dull Knife College. She was also recently honored by hosting the Northern Cheyenne table at the Mayor’s World Languages Dinner in Billings, Montana.
Kinsley combined her passion for indigenous values with her vigor for community empowerment when she became the Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders Council Communications Health Specialist in 2022. In this role, she is a champion of tobacco-free living, which she promotes through Good Medicine Keepers.
Kinsley is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in communications from Montana State University Billings. She holds an associate degree from Chief Dull Knife College and a Basic Tobacco Intervention Skills Certification for Native Communities through the University of Arizona HealthCare Partnership.
Kinsley finds happiness in spending time with her family and two children, traveling to powwows, and participating in handgames throughout Indian Country.
