We are the Center for Native American Youth

Our Vision is for all Native American youth to lead full and healthy lives, to have equal access to opportunity, and to draw strength from their culture and inspire one another.

Autumn McMillan

Halito! Hello! I am Autumn McMillan, a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. I currently work as the Native American Liaison & Enrollment Specialist at East Central Community College. I am also a Community Health Representative with Tulane University’s Weaving Healthy Families Program and apart of my community’s non-profit organization.

During my spare time, I love to read, sew, do traditional beadwork and improve my photography skills. I am ecstatic to be part of the Remembering Our Sisters Fellowship and look forward to working and creating memories with the rest of the Fellows.

Yakoki. Thank You.

“A lot of the time, Urban Indians are thought of as absent of culture because we live in concrete jungles surrounded by settler and pop culture. Many believe we don’t even have land to practice our traditional harvesting and ceremonies, but the truth is what little access to land we have, we utilize it to persevere and enhance our tribal and inter-tribal cultures.”
