Yá'át'ééh! Hello!
My name is Diana Onco-Ingyadet. I am a Navajo, Kiowa, Comanche, cisgender Indigenous woman. My mother is Diné (Navajo), and is from Monument Valley, UT. My father is Caigu (Kiowa) and Numunu (Comanche) from Hobart, OK. I grew up mainly in Norman, OK, but spent many summers with my family on the Navajo Nation as well.
Learning
My educational journey began with my parents and the various communities I was raised in as a young child. I may have obtained the privilege to put letters after my name, but would still classify myself an infant in my journey through my Indigenous identity. The learning never ends. I excelled in school, but by no means believe college is for everyone. I am thankful for all the beauty and knowledge that is obtained and shared by those who have never needed to step foot on a university campus. This website is to serve as an interpretation of my journey.
Thank you for your time.
