Tribal Educator and Artisan
Crystal Boulton-Scott grew up in Trenton, New Jersey, and is of Rancocas Lenape and Roman Italian immigrant descent. She relocated to Oregon and has spent the last 20 years working in support of tribal education. Her experience with efforts to preserve and promote tribal languages at the elementary level has led her to craft unique teaching and learning opportunities. Crystal is also a professional silversmith and illustrator, and incorporates these artistic talents – as well as her expertise in the crafting of traditional cultural arts – in her work with young people.
