My name is Tracy Cree, enrolled in the Yakama Nation, I am married to my husband of ten years we share two little girls and our niece whom we have permanent guardianship of. I live on my husbands reservation in rural Fort Hall, Idaho. I have overcame alcohol abuse, depression and anxiety and have been fighting my diagnosis of Idiopathic Intercranial Hypertension while working my full-time job as the Outreach coordinator/Budget Specialist and attending Northwest Indian College full-time, I am near the goal of obtaining my Associate and plan to dive right into my Bachelor degree of Business Entrepreneurship. I will be the first in my family to obtain a degree in college. With my history of historical trauma I have overcame these barriers and continue to fight in order to have a career worth living and the skills to help the youth and my community in the future and whatever we may face ahead.
