Lockett graduates from UC Berkley

Kiley Keaowenaokekaiolohia Lockett proudly displays her Choctaw Nation stole at her December graduation from the University of California at Berkeley.

Kiley graduated with the highest distinction (summa cum laude) with a major in history and a minor in Native American Studies.

While at Berkeley, she served as an intern at the Native American Student Development office. There, she administered orientation for incoming Native students, assisted at academic conferences, and was in charge of designing, planting and maintaining the Indigenous Community Learning Garden.

Kiley is extremely grateful for all the encouragement and support for her education that she has received from the Choctaw Nation.
