Nizhonia Toledo

I am a proud enrolled member of the C.T.U.I.R. I am in advocate for wild salmon and Indigenous people. I believe in preserving first foods as well as my culture. My other hobbies include dancing and attending powwows. I dance traditional and recently started jingle. I’ve been creating art and dancing since I was little and have loved it for as long as I can remember. Recently I graduated high school and plan on attending college. I’ve also just had my first child. My son is now seven months!

The concept is community. As our people come together it is a pool of generations. From the generations, our culture still stands. Our communities is what makes our people stay as one and grow strong as one. Ours traditions live on through us.
