Shailene Woodley brought Calina Lawrence, a member of the Suquamish Tribe in Washington state. She advocates for Native Treaty Rights, the "Water is Life" movement and the #NoLNG253 campaign led by the Puyallup Tribe. Woodley tweeted about her guest:
Calina Lawrence recently graduated from the University of San Francisco with a B.A. in Performing Arts and Social Justice in December 2016, and with honors at that. Since graduating, she's put the social justice component of her degree to good use defending causes that are very close to home.
According to the bio on her website, Lawrence is an enrolled member of the Suquamish Tribe and was raised within her Indigenous culture in the Pacific Northwest area of Washington State. The self-described "art-ivist" has recently been "traveling the country in advocacy for Native Treaty Rights and the 'Mni Wiconi' (Water is Life) movement led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe."
But Lawrence isn't just an activist. She's also a seriously talented musician and even has a single out. Her debut single “Alcatraz” was released in January 2017 and most recently released "Don't Count Me Out" in December 2017, which features indigenous vocalist/emcee Desirae Harp. Lawrence is also is set to put out her first ever album sometime this year, according to her website.
