Current Residence: Pierre, SD

Occupation: Database Administrator

Castaway Bio:

Growing up on a Sioux reservation in South Dakota, Nahanni was itching to get out into the big city from the time she was a little girl, always having this hunch that there was more to life than the reservation offered. Though she is very proud of her indigenous heritage and couldn't imagine growing up anywhere else, she jumped at the opportunity to go to high school in Sioux Falls, as well as the chance to attend the University of South Dakota. When Nahanni entered high school, she quickly found her passion with computers and technology and chose to major in computer science upon entering university. It was also in university where she met her husband Floyd, who happened to grow up on a reservation in Montana. Upon graduating from university, Nahanni found herself fixing computers and computer software at first, before landing a job developing the software. About ten years ago however, Nahanni found landed a job as a database administrator for a high end corporation and is in charge of maintaining its encrypted software.

Though a very caring person, Nahanni is extremely analytical and curious, always wanting to probe deeper into questions she has and hating to give the answer "I don't know," believing that there is always a reasonable explanation for everything. She is a very serious and determined person 80% of the time, but she has proven the other 20% of the time that she knows how to kick back, relax, and have fun and enjoys bowling, camping, fishing, hiking, playing cards, and hanging out with her friends and family in her spare time. Nahanni currently lives in Pierre, South Dakota with her husband Floyd and their 3 daughters: Carlene (17), Katrina (14), and Wendy (12). Nahanni is also still very close to her parents, making sure to take her daughters up to her family's reservation every couple of months to visit their grandparents and show them where they came from. They also hold strong to the spiritual teachings of their culture.

Coming into the game, Nahanni knows that she may initially be targeted for being older, and thus wants to provide to her tribe by fishing, and generally working hard around camp. She also wants to play a very strategic game, vowing to do anything it takes to get to the end and win the money and the title of Sole Survivor.
