  • Vogue model, digital equity advocate, filmmaker, and athlete... THE Brittany Woods-Orrison! Brittany (she/her/that auntie) is Koyukon Dené from Dleł Taneets, Alaska, a small village on the Yukon River. For her grade school years she split her time between growing up in the village living the traditional subsistence lifestyle and going to school in Fairbanks. She attended Mt.
