Erica Green is an enrolled member of the Hualapai Tribe and serves as the Community Coordinator for the Harvard University Native American Program (HUNAP), where she leads initiatives that strengthen Native student engagement, expand Indigenous visibility, and build partnerships across Harvard and the broader Indigenous community. She helps shape the program’s student engagement strategy by developing initiatives that center Indigenous community, cultural connection, and leadership across campus. Through her work, Erica develops culturally grounded programming, coordinates campus-wide collaborations, and supports spaces where Native students can connect, lead, and thrive.

At HUNAP, Erica works closely with departments and cultural institutions across Harvard—including the Peabody Museum, Harvard Art Museums, and other campus partners—to create programming that brings Indigenous knowledge, culture, and dialogue into the broader university community. She regularly convenes cross-campus collaborations and community partnerships that expand opportunities for Native students and strengthen relationships between the university and Indigenous communities. Her work includes coordinating speaker series, cultural workshops, student gatherings, and partnerships with local Indigenous organizations that strengthen connections between Harvard and Native communities throughout the region.

Prior to joining Harvard, Erica worked in education supporting Native students in both tribal and urban communities. Her work focused on expanding educational opportunities, supporting culturally responsive programming, and creating pathways for Native students to pursue higher education and leadership.

Erica holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, a Master of Education from Claremont Graduate University, and a Master of Legal Studies with a concentration in Indian Gaming from Arizona State University. Her work is guided by a commitment to Indigenous community building, educational access, and strengthening pathways for future Native leaders.
