Thomas Lozano was an undergraduate student at Sacramento State in the early 2000s and felt alone. He was a Native American student, a citizen of the Enterprise Rancheria Estom Yumeka Maidu. As Lozano walked the campus, he could not see many of his peers who looked like him. He said he felt isolated.
