Gary Michiel Montiel

Member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona

Gary Michiel Montiel, known in his community by ‘All Mike’ is a combat veteran of the Iraq War, a proud member of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona, and a passionate community advocate dedicated to healing, empowerment, and indigenous resurgence. After serving as an infantryman in one of the most perilous regions of Iraq, ‘All Mike’ returned home burdened with the invisible scars of war only to face a broken VA system that left him overmedicated and overlooked. His personal journey toward healing led him to plant-based medicines, particularly psilocybin mushrooms, which transformed his life and reignited his purpose.

Drawing on this experience, ‘All Mike’ has been instrumental in founding and supporting a wide range of organizations—from indigenous advocacy groups and political movements to food cooperatives and cultural boards, all rooted in justice, sustainability, and collective healing. He now works alongside like minded changemakers to push forward a vision of radical wellness, community power, and systemic change.
