Interview with Carson Smith
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Carson Smith (BA Political Science, 2019) speaks about her family background, how she learned about Stanford through the College Horizons program, and her decision to attend Stanford. Smith shares memories of her freshman year, including what it was like living in Muwekma, playing Werewolves with SNIP for the first time, the Band Run with Muwekma, and visiting Alcatraz for the first time with other Indigenous students. She discusses her roles as a resident assistant in Muwekma and co-chair in SAIO. Smith explains her involvement in the university’s renaming committee that grappled with whether to rename campus places bearing the name of Junipero Serra, discussing issues that created conflict and how peacemaking principles were used near the end of the process to allow the voices of Native students to be heard. Lastly, she shares her vision for the Native community in the next fifty years.
