She also spoke about her desire to work in her own community after graduation.

Richard B. Williams, president and CEO of the American Indian College Fund, was also interviewed about how the Fund helps students who couldn’t otherwise attend college, and the unmet need for scholarships to help American Indians fund their educations.

For Indigenous peoples, the responsibility to care for the earth and the environments that shaped our cultures is one we have carried for millennia. That commitment to the places that are a part of us persists today in the studies and careers many Native people pursue.
