My name is Melissa Torres and I am an enrolled Blackfeet member of the Amskaapi Pikuni in Browning, Montana. I am also a member of the Crazy Dog Society in Browning. My Indian name is Miistaaki Oomahkaatayaaki, which means Mountain Lion. My major is American Indian Studies and my long term goal is to become a corporate attorney and work for a local tribe. My goal is to be able to give back to my Native community and my tribe as my mother and grandmother did before me. The contributions of my grandmother have had a large impact on my decisions and have guided my choices in my career.
