Miss and Mister American Indian OSU

In April, Kellon and Elijah attended the 2026 Honoring Ceremony for our OSU graduating seniors and the OU AISA Annual Spring Powwow. As the first official events attended by our NASA royalty, they enjoyed participating in each and were thankful to represent OSU NASA!!

Meet our new Mister American Indian OSU Elijah Grass! His platform is Creating Healthy Behaviors in Native Communities to Prevent Disease. He chose this platform because he believes that practicing healthy behaviors, including healthy diets and physical activity, would be beneficial for those in our Native communities.

“A lot of our relatives are affected by nutrition-related diseases. During my time studying nutrition, I have always concerned myself with learning practices that could be applied to help those within our Indigenous communities. I plan to be involved in serving our communities as Mister American Indian OSU by bringing awareness to the topic of health and nutrition! Aho and Mvto!”

Meet our new 2026-2027 Miss American Indian OSU Kellon Collington! She is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation from Grove, Oklahoma. She is an upcoming junior majoring in elementary education with an ethical leadership certification. Her platform for the year is Rooted in Tradition: Rising Through Education, which is focused on bringing accurate representation of Native Americans into public school systems, encouraging cultural growth among all ages, and getting more Native students into higher education.

This past Saturday, Cydnee attended the partnership event between SPS IEPC and the OSU Native American Student Association. She had a great time dancing in the Gourd Dance and the Stomp Dance. She wants to thank everyone for coming out and supporting the two organizations.

Cydnee and fellow members of the Native American Student Association partnered with the Lindy Waters III Foundation to give a campus tour to prospective native students. They had the opportunity to talk about life on OSU’s campus and joined them at the Cowboy Basketball N7 game!
