“Onco-Ingyadet: I’m originally from Oklahoma, and I went to college and worked in Arizona and New Mexico. It never occurred to me to move to the East Coast. When I first relocated here, the transition was tough. However, through this group, I’ve found a community that makes me feel like I’m building some longevity here. For me, it’s about building a community and finding a sense of belonging for myself and others. ILY has allowed me to bring my true, authentic self to work every day."

“I was fortunate enough to have a place like the Native American Cultural Center at each of my institutions as an undergraduate and graduate student,” Onco-Ingyadet wrote in an email to the News. “So I personally understand the influence that a place like the NACC at Yale can have on students, faculty, staff, and the community at large. I was really excited to learn about the ways in which a university like Yale was approaching Indigenous students in higher education.”
