Lillian Sanchez-Lee

My name is Lillian Sanchez-Lee, I represent the Yakama Nation. I love giving back to the community and making a difference in Indian country through everything I do. For example, I hosted a Christmas dinner party for the less-fortunate on the Yakama reservation to planning the cultural day. One of several major accomplishment I am proud of recently is that my team placed gold at the F.C.C.L.A national level. I am the treasurer on the Kamiakin Indian club, Vice-President of Family, Career, Community, Leaders of America, S.T.A.N.D peer educator, and the 2016-2017 ASB activities Coordinator.

Hi Auntie Amanda, I was reading about suicide rates in the United States and Native Americans were the highest in rates. As a Caucasian person, would it be acceptable for me to pursue a degree in psychology to help tribes?
