New Faces

Luwanna Comstock Klamath Tribe Senior Accountant

Hello, my name is Luwanna Comstock, I am ewksiknii & Lakota (Klamath & Sioux).

I grew up in Portland Oregon. Much of who I am, has been shaped by the teachings and influence of both my Lakota Grandmother and my ewksiknii grandmother. Through them I learned to value my kinships and friendships, to value being kind always and generous with love and compassion. I value education and learning, and I strive to live a heathy active growth centered lifestyle.

I have been working in accounting for over 20 years. I have a bachelors in social science from Portland State University and recently finished their Post Bac in Accounting program.

I cannot express enough how happy I am to join NPAIHB's finance team as the new Senior Accountant. I am so, so excited!

And while I do love accounting and geeking out with spreadsheets, what I most love is being in nature. I love being in the mountains and near rivers and lakes. I swim regularly and am currently trying to learn to paddle board. I love everything about the PNW and would never want to live anywhere else. Also important, I love to bake cookies and give them to people; I love to shop for shoes and when I’m a lone I love to listen to music loud and sing even louder in my car, lol!

Sunny Stone Data Hub Outreach Coordinator

Hi there! My name is Sunny Stone, I am so excited to be starting my new adventure with the NPAIHB as the Data Hub Coordinator. For the past 11 years, I have worked for the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes as a Diabetes Manager, Quality Improvement Coordinator, and most recently, Tribal Health and Human Services Director. I live on the Fort Hall Reservation with my husband (Shoshone-Bannock) and son (Shoshone-Bannock).

While completing my Bachelor of Science in Health Education, and a Master in Public Health from Idaho State University I fell in love with data and epidemiology. Though understandably, numbers aren’t everyone’s favorite, the simplicity of having quantitative data to understand the benefits of an intervention or the severity of a problem always intrigued me; especially when combined with qualitative data, traditional, or community knowledge to develop insight and improve community health. I am passionate about data sovereignty and improving access and ownership of data within Tribal communities to improve quality of care, recognize patterns, and to communicate with membership, leadership, and granting agencies.

When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family, going on adventures (traveling), gardening, camping, whitewater rafting, and generally spending time outdoors.
