Caitlyn Brandt

Caitlyn is the Senior Litigation Assistant for the Tribal Partnerships Program based in the Rocky Mountain Office. Caitlyn graduated from Appalachian State University in 2014 where she studied processes of decolonization. She continued her graduate studies at the University of Colorado Boulder where she studied the role of religious rhetoric in legal arguments by tribes against the Dakota Access Pipeline as a form of decolonization and refusal. Caitlyn graduated in 2017 with her master’s degree in religious studies. After graduating, she began to build experience in law firms before joining Earthjustice in 2021. She brings an extensive knowledge of American Indian history and understanding of cultural traditions to the Tribal Partnerships Program.

Caitlyn works extensively alongside the Tribal Partnerships teams as well as with numerous departments and programs across the organization to support Earthjustice’s Tribal and Indigenous clients and partners. She manages the Tribal Partnerships external listserv, which Tribal and Indigenous clients and partners can sign up for on the Tribal Partnerships webpage.

Having grown up in Florida, Caitlyn enjoys experiencing all the seasons in Colorado — especially Fall. She enjoys reading, camping, and is an avid hockey fan.
