We have obtained Keck NIR spectroscopy of a sample of nine M$_\star$ $<$10$^{10}$ M$_\odot$ dwarf galaxies to confirm AGN activity and the presence ofgalaxy-wide, AGN-driven outflows through coronal line (CL) emission. We findstrong CL detections in 5/9 galaxies (55$\%$) with line ratios incompatiblewith shocks, confirming the presence of AGN in these galaxies. Similar CLdetection rates are found in larger samples of more massive galaxies hostingtype 1 and 2 AGN. We investigate the connection between the CLs and galaxy-wideoutflows by analyzing the kinematics of the CL region, as well as the scalingof gas velocity with ionization potential of different CLs. In addition, usingcomplementary Keck KCWI observations of these objects, we find that the outflowvelocities measured in [Si VI] are generally faster than those seen in [O III].The galaxies with the fastest outflows seen in [O III] also have the highest[Si VI] luminosity. The lack of $J$-band CN absorption features, which areoften associated with younger stellar populations, provides further evidencethat these outflows are driven by AGN in low mass galaxies.
