Jacob Valtierra
Transition Coordinator
Boozhoo, I am Ojibwe from the Red Lake Nation in Minnesota. I have been married to my wife Maria for 11 years, we have 5 children and 2 grandchildren. I played college basketball in Minneapolis, MN for 2 years and I have coached basketball for 6 years including middle school boys & girls, high school girls, and college women. I enjoy learning the Ojibwe language in my free time and I believe that language revitalization helps us heal. As the Transition Coordinator I am here to support your transition to high school and provide advocacy and encouragement to keep speaking your language and practicing your culture.
