Hazel Hayes, Staff Writer

Hi! My name is Hazel Hayes, (she/her). I am a Junior and a staff writer for the Evanstonian. I started writing for the paper last year, also as a staff writer. I write for the Evanstonian because of the community that it builds, and also because it is super fun to write about new things each month. At ETHS, I am a chief editor for the yearbook, a student ambassador, and I am on the tennis and soccer teams. I also work at ‘Backlot coffee’ which is a place that hands out The Evanstonian! Outside of school I love to spend time with friends, do outdoor activities, and read!

Massacres are not defined by the murderous rampages of a single instance, but the massacre of culture and freedom that Native Americans had cultivated for centuries prior.
