Autumn Armstrong is a third-year transfer at UCLA majoring in Anthropology with a special interest in Sociocultural Anthropology. She plans to attend graduate and post-graduate school to obtain a Ph.D. in Anthropology and become a professor of Anthropology. In the past few years, Autumn has given various talks at UC Riverside and UC Merced on the topic of colorism in Black and Latinx communities. The research project she is working on seeks to understand the negative effect and impact imperialist Western tourism has on Indigenous Hawaiian heritage and culture and their respective heritage sites. Additionally, it explores a hypothesis she created in her second year of college, where Westerners seek out the sacred rituals of an oppressed group and begin to cheapen, exploit, and tour that ritual with the intent to commodify and appropriate it for themselves. Autumn hopes her research can be a step toward helping Indigenous Hawaiians regain control over their islands and heritage sites.
