About
Oli Facq is a French-American & Nakota student born and raised in the Seattle area. They are a fourth year undergrad studying Geoscience and American Indian Studies at the University of Washington.
Oli will be First Nations at UW’s Secretary Chair in the 2024-25 academic year, which is a club aimed to foster community and empower all Indigenous students at UW. They played an instrumental role during First Nation’s at UW 53rd Annual Spring Powwow by coordinating, planning and leading concessions booths which served roughly a thousand to three thousand guests over the two day weekend. First Nation’s at UW Annual Spring Powwow is an entirely student organized cultural event which brings in community throughout Washington state and beyond.
They hope to uplift communities through education, Indigenous knowledge, and their background in earth sciences to help mitigate the effects of institutionalized harm against marginalized groups in their community and beyond.
