Jennifer "Nakomis" Dedmon was a houseguest in Big Brother 5 and later in Big Brother All-Stars (US).

In Big Brother 5, as part of the Project DNA twist, she was in the Big Brother House with her biological half-brother Michael Ellis and was credited with creating the Backdoor strategy alongside Marvin Latimer. She ultimately placed 4th after Michael used the Power of Veto on Diane Henry, automatically evicting her, becoming the sixth member of the jury.

In Big Brother 7, both she and her returning ally Diane found themselves on the outs after failing to vote with the majority at the first eviction. The two were nominated alongside each other in Week 2, and Nakomis was ultimately evicted by a vote of 8 to 2, placing 13th.
