Nicota Stevenson

He:yung! My name is Nicota Stevenson and I’m a Seattle native/Los Angeles transplant. I’m a member of the Hoopa Valley Tribe, located in northern California, and am a third-year student at Yale Law School. During law school, I’ve been involved in the Native American Law Students Association, the Yale Journal on Regulation, and the First Generation Professionals student group. I’m interested in both corporate law and federal Indian law—and have taken just about every course available at the law school on the latter.

After taking the Tribal Resources & Sovereignty Clinic last semester, I’m incredibly excited to be back this year as a Teaching Assistant. I look forward to working with our incredible students doing the work of decolonization at Yale, and assisting tribes with their various engagements. Ts’ehdiyah!
