When I get back home, I’ll be planning to go to Massachusetts for the Wampanoag tribe’s Thanksgiving festival.
I’m at the ACF Native American Grantee Meeting right now. Wow! You’re so busy! What does your upcoming schedule look like for you?īusy. I talked about my platform at the University of Denver in Colorado, and I’m heading to DC this week to speak at the Administration for Children and Families Native American Grantee Meeting. It was firsthand knowledge at its best! I spoke at an event at the New School in New York City. To let us greet each other and do things on our terms first. I appreciate the museum for letting us Natives take the lead.

I greeted northwest tribes at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City for their announcement to restore, update and conserve the historic northwestern coast section of the museum. Thus far I have walked in my tribe’s pow wow, which occurs every Labor Day weekend.
What have you done so far since winning your title? Running in the pageant has been a goal of mine since college, I didn’t think I was going to win, but I’m happy I did. I love to set goals, things to look forward to. I learned about Miss Native American USA while I was in college and the more I researched the organization, the more and more I liked it! I decided while in college that I was going to run, but I had to get my degree first.
While I was Miss Teen Shinnecock, I attended my first national pageant and once I saw that I wanted to someday in the future hold a national title. We caught up with Williams in between her many events, where she shared with us a few stories of her Shinnecock heritage and why you should explore your heritage.Īgain, congratulations on winning this year’s Miss Native American USA title! When did you ultimately decide to compete in the Miss Native American USA Pageant? Williams humbly gives the ode to her title, as she admits that it helps motivate her to make moves and share stories of her Shinnecock heritage. Since then she’s been on an adventure of a lifetime, from making appearances at conferences and events to walking at powwows and visiting Native communities. The last time I chatted with this year’s reigning Miss Native American USA Autumn Rose Miskweminanocsqua (Raspberry Star Woman) Williams (Shinnecock), it was a few months ago when she won the pageant.
