Woniya Dawn Thibeault

Woniya Thibeault is a passionate educator and craftsperson. She lived a lot of her adult life off grid, growing and gathering her own food and making what she needs from resources in the landscape around her. She recently tested these skills on Season 6 of Alone where she spent 73 days living off the land in the arctic. Through her business, Buckskin Revolution, she teaches ancestral and land-based living skills with a focus on integrating the skills humans have relied on for eons into their modern lives in a way that fosters connection to the land around them, their human community, and the wilder places in themselves.

With decades of experience in ancestral skills and a masters degree in Environmental Science, she strives to combine the physical skills for feeding, clothing and sheltering oneself with nature connection practices and natural history knowledge for a well-rounded experience that helps people experience a more abundant, grounded and connected life.
