Illyana Christian
My name is Illyana (they/he), but I go by Illy! I am 21 years old, identify as 2Spirit and I am of Secwepmec and Sylix descent. I grew up in a small town in the Okanagan called Armstrong and have recently moved to Vernon as of last year with my girlfriend. Some of my hobbies include, going to the gym, hiking, skiing, gardening, and playing music with my band. I have always been a huge advocate for climate change and the earth ever since I was a little kid. It is still greatly important to me in my life currently.
Story
I have worked with the Secwepmec Nation Youth Tribal Council as a youth representative for meetings. My role as of being a youth rep is to have input as a youth and offer a different perspective during meetings and decisions. I am planning on attending post-secondary in the fall for Environmental Arts. It is up to the younger generation to step up and be part of these
important conversations and initiatives to keep our future possible.
