Compassion with John Littlewolf 92,000 Hours

    • Management

This week we are speaking with Dr. John Littlewolf about compassion. 
Annalisa and John discuss compassion at work and in our communities. John is a law enforcement officer focused in Native and First Nation communities. We discuss how compassion is needed in law enforcement, collective trauma, and how recent conversations of defunding the police and police brutality tie into this. 
John grew up on the Leech Lake Indian Reservation and is an enrolled member of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa. He is a law enforcement officer, and during his career his duties have included Patrol Officer, Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Investigator, and Criminal Investigator. He was recently appointed to the Minnesota Attorney General’s Conviction Review Advisory Board. His education includes a B.S. in Criminal Justice, a M.S. in Public Safety Executive Leadership, and a Ph.D. in Leadership and Change.  He focused on law enforcement culture and trauma during his doctoral studies. He has always been an advocate for his Indigenous community, and among other things, he serves as a Board Member for the American Indian Family Center in Saint Paul.
