Work
She is a co-creator of the ReMatriate Collective, a group working toward better representation of Indigenous women in the media. Her work often focuses on the non-visible qualities, histories, and energy of the materials she uses and examines and animates their relationship to trade, ceremonial regalia, and the politics of First Nations art. Key themes in her art include Indigeneity in politics, community engagement and productive disruptions.

Njootli was chosen as a LandMarks2017 artist, creating the installation Being Skidoo, which honoured and acknowledged skidoos as "tools and partners in travel." Being Skidoo was filmed on a journey into Vuntut National Park in April 2017.

In 2016, Njootli completed the Media Arts Residency at the Western Front, an artist-run centre in Vancouver.
