Mother, eco-warrior, anarchist and anti-capitalist, Michi is actually very traditional - her grandmas being her biggest influences. From their mixed native matriarchal perspective, patriarchy and capitalism are new to the West and radical to the extreme. Michi earned her bachelor's degree in Portland and remains a student of American history and economics. She has hosted the Austin Environmental Show for several years, among other radio programs, as well as the Women's News Hour on cable access. She headed the Austin Bureau of the Rio Grande Guardian and has published widely on environmental and border issues. Currently Michi spends more time than she probably should out in the backyard trimming back exotic invasives to restore the native habitat of her little acreage and doing beadwork and other crafts.
