Trudie Jackson is a member of the Navajo Nation from Gallup, New Mexico. Her clans are Bitterwater, Folded Arms People, Mexican People, and Yucca Strung Out In A Line. Trudie grew up on the Navajo Nation and spent most of her summers with her grandmother learning about the Navajo ceremonies, sheep herding, and carding/spinning/dying wool. She attended Indian Boarding Schools (Teec Nos Pos, Nenahnezad, Fort Wingate, and Phoenix Indian School). She briefly attended public school while on the Indian Student Placement Program in Utah. She is one of six children and the first in her family to pursue an advanced degree at the University of New Mexico. Her research addresses decolonization, social justice, and Indigenous gender/identity.
A prominent community activist advocating for American Indian transgender women, she initiated the Southwest American Indian Rainbow Gathering, is actively involved in health disparities such as HIV/AIDS affecting underrepresented populations, and speaks locally and nationally sharing her personal experiences overcoming many barriers in pursuit of her education as a Navajo transgender woman.
Trudie ran in the 2018 Navajo Nation Presidential election as the first Navajo transgender women seeking the Nation's highest office. Her run in the Navajo Nation Presidential election made headlines across Indian Country and gave hopes to many American Indian gender non-conforming tribal members to run for public office.
The Trudie Jackson Papers contain Navajo Nation Presidential Candidate campaign material and forum agendas, invitation letters, Navajo Council Delegate forum, campaign stickers, and travel/rental information.
