"Culture Does Not Equal Costume" Event

Flyer
This event was the first of its kind at WSU put on by the Native American Women's Association. Our goal of this event was to raise awareness on an issue of cultural appropriation taking place in our own college town. We collaborated with other multicultural organizations with a panel where students could ask questions about each presentation. This is now an annual event for the organization, NAWA.

Floral Scarf Sticker Sales
NAWA Floral Scarf Sticker Fundraiser
I created this sticker on my iPad using Procreate, NAWA sold the sticker for $3 and our fundraising efforts helped us put on more exciting events in the future.
Study Abroad Experience
Valencia, Spain 2019
I studied abroad in Valencia, Spain during the summer of 2019 and received the National Gilman Scholarship. I presented a multimedia presentation to Native youth at a "Native Youth Exploring Higher Education" camp at WSU later that summer. I am a huge advocate for younger Native students pursuing higher education and expanding their global understandings of the world by studying abroad..
Pah-loots-puu powwow
Powwow Planning Committee
As chair of the powwow planning committee for the annual PahLootsPuu Powwow at WSU, I lead the team in group discussions and helped get an overall picture of what our advertising for the powwow might look like. I worked continuously with other planning committees to get the necessary info for the flyer, and created the outline for the program, making sure all advertisements had the same message, colors, fonts, etc.
POWWOW FLYER 2
I also researched what advertising has been done in the past and worked on areas that needed improvement. The powwow was advertised on campus using TVs in the CUB, full page newspaper ads, flyers, social media posts, and collaborations with clubs to spread the word.
WSU native american heritage month
November Events Flyer
My first position on the Native American Women's Association cabinet was Public Relations. I created the flyers for the organization and kept our social medias as active as possible. This flyer was a breakdown of all the events NAWA was hosting/co-hosting in November.
Ribbon Skirt Flyer
NAWA hosted a Ribbon Skirt Making event taught by Dr. Robbie Paul. I wanted this flyer to catch the eye and match the horizontal lines on ribbon skirts.
NAWA PRESENATAIONS
Land Acknowledgment Presentation
As chair of NAWA, I brought up this topic as an event because land acknowledgments were becoming more popular/discussed on campus, and I believed it was crucial for students to be informed about the meaning behind them from Native students, not just professors.
Tribal nation building leadership program
MOU ANNUAL EVENT
I was invited to participate in the Tribal Nations Building Leadership Program at WSU Native Programs. This program was for Tribal members apart of the MOU Tribes that WSU works with. I was one of two students from our original cohort of twenty students to finish the program and graduate. My final project for this program was a twenty five page research paper titled, "How Tribes Have Influenced Indigenous Women in Business." I conducted interviews with women in my family to complete my research.
indigenous peoples day recognition
WSU Proclamation
Native Programs as well as other organization at WSU petitioned to abolish Columbus Day and instead honor Indigenous Peoples Day. This is when the proclamation recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day at WSU was signed into action.
City of Pullman
WSU Native Programs and their supporters met at a town hall meeting to support those arguing to abolish Columbus Day. Indigenous Peoples Day is now also recognized in the City of Pullman as well.
WSU Native Programs Ambassador
NY'EHE Flyer
As a student ambassador I was also a camp counselor for the annual summer camp that WSU Native Programs hosts, "Native Youth Exploring Higher Education." The last camp was completely virtual, so I created an activity that was based off of the work by Well For Culture that students could do at home.
WSU Native Programs Flyer
I created this flyer to be added to the program at the WSU Native American Appreciation Day basketball game. As a student ambassador, we had over 60 students come to WSU where I gave tours, answered questions, and explained why I chose WSU.
WSU Native Programs mentor
Fall Fest Promotion
I created this WSU Fall Fest Promotion video to highlight our event and encourage more first-year students to attend.
Day In The Life IG Takeover
In my final year as a student mentor, I did an IG stories takeover for WSU Native Programs. This was to show students what the life of one Native Coug was like. Other mentor duties included emailing mentees weekly, completing weekly mentor logs, and creating events to get more first-year Native students to the Native Student center.
Indigenous Studies minor
From Food Deserts to Pipelines
My final project in Native Peoples of the Americas 327 was this presentation on how environmental injustices impact Indigenous communities. This is a topic I am extremely passionate about as environmental injustices impact all Indigenous people across the globe.
Stick Game Songs
For my final oral traditions project, I chose to present on stick game songs and how/when they are used. I enjoyed doing the research for this project because I interviewed my father and other family members about their experiences.
Business Marketing at wsu
Digital Marketing 450
For my final project in my digital marketing course I acted as a digital marketing associate for a business and completed a website audit to look for areas of improvement. I chose the Native owned cosmetics line "Cheekbone Beauty."
Marketing Research 368
This group project was on how sales could be improved at our campus bookstore, The Bookie. We conducted research interviews, turned our interview results into data and created recommendations from our results.
