Zola Ortiz

About

Zola Ortiz is a Stanford University freshman studying Anthropology and Native American studies. She is a proud member of the Comanche Nation, and she is also Kiowa, Caddo, Acoma Pueblo, and  Diné. She is currently serving as a Feminist Narratives intern at the Stanford Women’s Community Center. She currently resides in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and enjoys working towards helping advocate for Native American people. Her interest in Native American advocacy stems from her family’s emphasis on giving back to Indigenous people and to the land. Upon completing her undergraduate studies, she intends to attend law school where she will continue to advocate for Native people’s rights and work with Native communities and organizations. In her free time, she loves to crochet and spend time with her family and friends!
