| St. Luke's PodcastsThe St. Luke's Forum: The Rev. Isaiah Shaneequa Brokenleg
The Rev. Isaiah Shaneequa Brokenleg serves as the Staff
Officer for Racial Reconciliation for the presiding bishop.
An epidemiologist in her previous career, Brokenleg’s call to
priesthood offered a union of her professional and cultural life.
She is a member of the Lakota tribe and a Winkte - a sacred
healer. As an epidemiologist, Brokenleg traveled to many
reservations and native communities throughout the Midwest
to develop outreach programs to address health issues and
challenges. Her current work draws on many of those same
skills and approaches.
