About Anushka

Background

Hello there! I am a rising senior in highschool. I am passionate about advocating for human rights and I love learning about and immersing myself in other cultures. I aspire to travel the world and meet people from all backgrounds in the future. I enjoy learning languages and I am fluent in English and Hindi, and I am currently learning Spanish, French and Japanese for fun in my free time as well.

How I got interested in Native communities

I got interested in serving Indigenous communities when I watched a documentary about the life of a Lakota boy on a reservation. It shocked me how much poverty and lack of resources there was and I knew I wanted to do something to help. I'm grateful that there is a strong Native culture in the Seattle area and I aim to engage with Indigenous communities as much as possible. You can check out a video playlist I have made in the resources tab.

Why you should support the cause

We all live on the ancestral homelands of Indigenous people so it is our duty to pay respect to the original caretakers of this land. Native communities have survived years of genocide and oppression but yet their beautiful culture continues to thrive and they are STILL HERE.

Whether or not you are Native, I have linked ideas and ways to support Indigenous communities under my resources tab.

Please sign my petition to do your part today!
