His research focuses at the intersection of Indigenous people and natural resource management policy. He recently co-directed the film “Welcome to Gwichyaa Zhee” about the Gwich’in fight to protect the Arctic Refuge. In his spare time, Len is an avid outdoor adventurer using rock/ice climbing, high altitude and ski mountaineering, and type 2 fun (when it’s not fun when you’re in the middle of it) to convey stories focused on environmental activism & Indigenous history. His work has appeared in the Alpinist, the Climbing Zine, Outside Magazine, Climbing, Patagonia’s Cleanest Line, and the Telluride Mountain Film Festival.
