BSNC commends descendant Nyché Skavaq Sivulliuqti Tyme Andrew for her leadership in helping to establish Yale University’s first Native and Indigenous Studies Certificate. Through her grassroots advocacy, Yale now offers this historic program for undergraduate students — a monumental achievement that ensures Indigenous voices, histories, and knowledge are recognized and taught at one of the world’s most prestigious universities.

Andrew graduated from Yale University in May 2025, earning both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in political science, along with a Certificate in Education Studies. Her leadership and dedication were honored during commencement when she was named one of only 11 students — out of 1,650 graduates — to receive Yale’s highest distinction, the James Andrew Haas Award. She was recognized for:

• Introducing Native foods across Yale dining halls for Indigenous Peoples’ Day
• Conducting groundbreaking research on Indian boarding schools
• Leading the effort to establish Yale’s Native and Indigenous Studies Certificate

Andrew, the daughter of Jacqueline Walluk and Tigran A. Andrew, is Yup’ik and Inupiaq. She is a proud BSNC and Sitnasuak Native Corporation descendant, Calista Corporation shareholder, and member of the Nome Eskimo Community. Andrew participated in BSNC’s Internship Program in 2021.

Join us in congratulating Nyché on her incredible achievements and continued dedication to uplifting Indigenous voices.

BSNC congratulates shareholder and member of the Board of Directors, Gail Anagick Schubert on receiving the Alaska Federation of Natives (AFN) Public Service Award at the 2025 AFN Convention in Anchorage.

Born and raised in Unalakleet, Gail is the daughter of Elizabeth “Betty” and Lowell Anagick and a descendant of Chief Nashalook, the last traditional chief and shaman of Unalakleet. Her upbringing instilled deep respect for Alaska Native culture, land, and community values—principles that have guided her lifelong dedication to advancing Alaska Native people.

A distinguished advocate and pivotal leader in Indigenous governance and economic sovereignty, Schubert transformed BSNC into a multimillion-dollar enterprise while fiercely protecting subsistence rights, promoting education, and empowering shareholders. Her legal and financial expertise, paired with her cultural grounding, enabled her to serve with both competence and care.

Schubert served on numerous statewide and national boards, including the Alaska Federation of Natives, ANCSA Regional Association, and Alaska Native Justice Center. A Stanford and Cornell alumna, she has always prioritized the next generation—creating internship programs, mentoring young leaders, and advocating for representation. Her legacy is one of transformative leadership, cultural stewardship, and unwavering dedication to community service.

Quyaana, Gail, for your decades of service and unwavering dedication to Our People.
