In Memory of Michelle Fox

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend, Michelle Fox.

Michelle was an attorney and founding Shareholder at Cedar Tree Native Law and focused her service to Indian Country. 

Her passing is a tremendous loss for Indian Country. Michelle believed in strengthening Tribal agriculture and uplifting Native producers, and her legacy will live on through the many lives she touched. The Intertribal Agriculture Council had the benefit of seeing Michelle’s commitment to producers in Indian Country firsthand—she was always ready and willing to support Tribal agriculture, from sitting with producers and helping them navigate USDA programs to offering key insights around federal agency processes during our annual conference. Michelle was not only a trusted partner in the work we care about, but also a dear friend. 

Beyond her legal career, Michelle was a cowgirl and cattle producer who truly lived the agricultural life she championed. But most of all, she cherished her family above all—her children were the center of her world.

We extend our heartfelt condolences and prayers to her family and all who loved her. Michelle’s dedication, spirit, and service will continue to live on through those who knew her.
