Haley felt isolated when she first arrived on campus, but says the advis- ing, workshops and social events that come with a PathwayOregon scholarship brought her out. “They helped me find my community,” she says. “I’ve been a peer advisor for PathwayOregon for the past two years and it’s really cool to help support the building of that community even more.” Haley, a member of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, is also a descen- dent of the Klamath Tribes, the Sokaogon Band of Chippewa Indians and the Yurok Tribe. She worked during the summer as a student research assistant with the Tribal Climate Change Project. In the long term, she plans to work on behalf of indigenous people – ideally, where she grew up. “What I’m focused on right now is climate change issues and how they affect indigenous people,” Haley says. “I believe indigenous people are being affected first- hand. I’m really worried about the loss of first foods and the complete uprooting of tribal lifeways and cultures.” Whatever the future brings, she’s grateful for the opportunities she received through PathwayOregon. “They’ve helped me in so many ways and supported me throughout my time here,” she says. “I’m going to really miss it.” Happy 16 th Birthday to Cintah Butler!
