When he decided to transfer to Colorado State University, Weston Jones had some concerns.
“To be honest, I was a little scared of coming to a mostly white university,” said Jones, a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation who grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. “I didn’t know if I would be able to find any people like me.”
