Southwest Region

Jamie Crowe is a proud member of the Pueblo of Tesuque and a dedicated advocate for the health and well-being of Native communities. Currently serving as the Southwest Regional Representative and Vice President on the National UNITY Council Executive Committee, Jamie returns for a second term, having previously served during the 2024–2025 cycle.

Jamie is pursuing a degree in Population Health with a minor in Maternal and Child Health at the University of New Mexico. 

Her academic path reflects her deep commitment to addressing systemic health disparities and advancing public health outcomes for Native people, particularly youth and families.

Since the age of 16, Jamie has been an active member of the Tesuque Pueblo Youth Coalition, where she has helped lead initiatives focused on cultural revitalization, language preservation, and tobacco cessation. Through these efforts, she and her youth council have engaged their community on the importance of reclaiming traditional tobacco use while educating peers on the dangers of commercial tobacco.

Jamie’s first UNITY Conference experience was in 2019 in Orlando, Florida—a moment that sparked her passion for national youth leadership. Her dedication to Native youth empowerment has only grown since then, rooted in a desire to be a changemaker for her people and a protector of Indigenous knowledge.

One of Jamie’s greatest passions is Tewa language revitalization. She believes language is the foundation of cultural identity and traditional continuity. “I do not want to live in a world without it,” she says, expressing a clear vision for ensuring future generations carry the strength, wisdom, and stories of their ancestors.

With compassion, purpose, and a strong voice for health equity and cultural preservation, Jamie Crowe continues to lead with heart and vision—ensuring Native youth are seen, heard, and empowered.
