Heid has taught ​writing for decades​, both as a professor and in community mentorships​. She has visited dozens of colleges and universities, libraries, and tribal and cultural institutions as a guest speaker and teacher.​ Most recently, Heid served as the 2022 Elliston Writer-in-Residence for University of Cincinnati, and ​she​ taught a term in Native American and Indigenous Studies at Dartmouth College. ​Her keen interest in visual poetics and ekphrasis arises from her interdisciplinary art and curatorial work. ​Heid has produced short films and installations, and curated dozens of exhibitions of Native American art. Heid is currently a guest curator for Amherst College’s Mead Museum working on an Boundless, an exhibit of art and text, for 2023-2024.
