Alex Osuna, a member of the White Mountain Apache Tribe (Dził Łígai Sa'í Ndé), spent much of his upbringing in Temecula, where he explored the Cleveland National Forest. Immersing himself in the study of native plants and wildlife, he developed a deep appreciation for the land’s natural beauty and abundant resources.

Now, at 41, Alex shares his knowledge of the region’s flora and fauna while dedicating himself to uplifting the community through education and resource-sharing. He strives to bring old-world wisdom and Indigenous perspectives into the modern day, helping others find sustainability in everyday life.
