Past Hatfield Fellows

Hatfield Fellows are among an elite group of Native Americans, many of whom have gone on to excel in their pursuit of being a highly productive and contributive member to society. It is the purpose of the Hatfield Fellowship program to provide fellows with an opportunity to experience first-hand the internal workings of the federal political system and concurrently serve as an advisor on Native American issues.
