Growing up in the oil and gas hub of Tulsa, Oklahoma, once dubbed the “Oil and Gas Capital of the World,” Jordan (she/her) witnessed firsthand the negative environmental and economic impacts of the fossil fuels industry.

She is a Muscogee (Creek) Nation citizen from the Mvskoke Reservation. She is of the Deer Clan (ecovlke) and descended from Ceyaha Tribal Town. Jordan received a Juris Doctorate with a certificate in Native American Law from the University of Tulsa and began her legal career as a Tribal attorney representing Tribal sovereign interests in Tribal, state, and federal court. Joining the staff of Indigenous Environmental Network in June, 2022, she is a policy analyst and legislative advocate working to advance a policy agenda for IEN that is centered on strengthening Indigenous nation-to-nation building, Indigenous rights, and Indigenous-based environmental justice. In her free time, Jordan enjoys dancing at Oklahoma powwows and Muscogee ceremonials, making beadwork, playing on the PS5 and Nintendo Switch and spending time with her animals.
