Tara L. Christiansen-Stiller, Supiaq name Oswitusqaq (one who takes care of her family/one who knows/wise), is an Indigenous scholar of Alutiiq/Unangan heritage from Old Harbor and King Cove, Alaska. She is the daughter of the late Jack Christiansen, Sr., a commercial fisherman, and Benny Koso. Her lineage includes Unangan midwives Annie Koso and Fannie Mack. As a mother, wife, and first-generation college graduate, Tara blends Western and Indigenous knowledge to promote health and healing. Her path began in healthcare, where she cultivated compassion as a nursing assistant and honed medical skills as a medical assistant. Earning degrees in Public Health, she became an educator, program designer, implementer, and evaluator. Her foundation in traditional ways of knowing was guided by Elders, family, and the land itself-learning through observation, storytelling, and balance. As a community healer and public health practitioner, Tara works alongside Indigenous communities to address post-colonization diseases and systemic oppression. She is developing an Indigenous Framework of Community Healing rooted in Alutiiq values, integrating Rematriation to restore cultural identity, resilience, and well-being. In collaboration with Kodiak Island Tribes, her work advocates for policies that uphold traditional healing practices and holistic community wellness. Quyanaa!
