I was a part of the Holy Ghost Festival, but then I would show up to the event and they wouldn’t assume that I was Portuguese — that question mark, I’ve always seen it on people’s faces. So those jokes are important to me because people have always tried to put me into a box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think when I was younger, I just remember being like, “God, I wish I was just one thing.” Now I’ve come to understand that my background is a superpower and it’s also something that I’m very proud of.

Washoe and Paiute were the two main tribes that were at Stewart. I knew that it wasn’t great — the administration was trying to change who they were as Native people.[aside postID=news_12051769 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250806-SHANICEROBINSONRESILIENCE_00065_TV-KQED.jpg']But my grandfather would say, “We had a roof over our head and we had three squares a day. For a kid growing up in Nevada during the Depression, that was more than anyone could ask for.” He talked about Stewart as this place that helped him survive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But also, we didn’t get into the other things. As a kid, I knew, I’m not gonna ask beyond what they’re willing to tell me because\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11883520/examining-the-painful-legacy-of-native-american-boarding-schools-in-the-u-s\"> there was a darkness to it\u003c/a>. In boarding school, they’re tough on people, and that was passed on to us, too. So it has reverberated \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/education/535528/the-lasting-impact-of-native-american-residential-schools\">through all the generations.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crazy thing people don’t understand about the boarding schools is that all the food was cooked by the kids, all the laundry was done by the kids, all the mowing, all the like yard work done by kids. It was this whole sort of environment that was built on the labor of young native children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a complicated relationship, and I do honor that my grandparents were very proud to have gone to Stewart. And then I also understand there were many things that I was not informed of.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On being Native and finding humor\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Native people — we’re just inherently hilarious. Teasing is a way that we show our love and affection. It’s part of our culture, part of our community. It’s very much part of [our] DNA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though all these dark things may have happened, there’s a lot of levity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak_ebn1uMn0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I went to Cal, did Native American studies and minored in city and regional planning. Then I went on to get my master’s in urban planning from Columbia. I always thought I’m gonna go work for the government because that’s what my family does. I didn’t even think of comedy as a life you can make a living off of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my core memories that sort of helped me get to where I am in comedy is in 2005, when I was a student at UC Berkeley. It was Native American Heritage Month, and the graduate student program hosted a comedy night — \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFSoWpYjkzc\">Charlie Hill\u003c/a> was the headliner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hill is the godfather of Native comedy. He was the first-ever Native comic to get a late-night set on \u003cem>The Richard Pryor Show\u003c/em>. I got a chance to see him live. And it was so cool, it opened me up in a way that I was like, “I wanna do this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The joke [I wrote] about skiing in Tahoe and desecrating the sacred lands was a hard one because it really bums people out. But simultaneously, I think it needs to be said, because I’m the only person who can say this and have you think in a different perspective about, “I guess all land here is Native land, and there was a community here that this was important to, and now it’s my playground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, as a comic, I do want people to think differently when they leave the show, and also know that there are modern Native people out here in this world. I feel every day I’m trying to combat this Hollywood spaghetti Western view of what Indian Country is.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On grief and getting on stage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When my mom passed, I was just kind of feeling like a husk. [That’s when] comedy found me. The worst possible thing that could happen to me happened, and all the fear of going up and bombing just went away.

I was a part of the Holy Ghost Festival, but then I would show up to the event and they wouldn’t assume that I was Portuguese — that question mark, I’ve always seen it on people’s faces. So those jokes are important to me because people have always tried to put me into a box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think when I was younger, I just remember being like, “God, I wish I was just one thing.” Now I’ve come to understand that my background is a superpower and it’s also something that I’m very proud of.

I didn’t even think of comedy as a life you can make a living off of.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my core memories that sort of helped me get to where I am in comedy is in 2005, when I was a student at UC Berkeley. It was Native American Heritage Month, and the graduate student program hosted a comedy night — \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFSoWpYjkzc\">Charlie Hill\u003c/a> was the headliner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hill is the godfather of Native comedy. He was the first-ever Native comic to get a late-night set on \u003cem>The Richard Pryor Show\u003c/em>. I got a chance to see him live. And it was so cool, it opened me up in a way that I was like, “I wanna do this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The joke [I wrote] about skiing in Tahoe and desecrating the sacred lands was a hard one because it really bums people out. But simultaneously, I think it needs to be said, because I’m the only person who can say this and have you think in a different perspective about, “I guess all land here is Native land, and there was a community here that this was important to, and now it’s my playground.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, as a comic, I do want people to think differently when they leave the show, and also know that there are modern Native people out here in this world. I feel every day I’m trying to combat this Hollywood spaghetti Western view of what Indian Country is.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On grief and getting on stage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When my mom passed, I was just kind of feeling like a husk. [That’s when] comedy found me. The worst possible thing that could happen to me happened, and all the fear of going up and bombing just went away.

They, in their discretion, decided to arrest not only law-abiding adults, [but] a 17-year-old child and an adult with Down syndrome,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday morning, Centro Legal learned that the minor had been transferred to New York, where he is presumably being held at a youth detention center operated by the Department of Health and Human Services. The 21-year-old with Down syndrome was taken to a detention center in Tacoma, Washington. At least some of the other adults were also transferred to Washington, though Engen said Centro Legal does not know all of their statuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The six people, some of whom advocates believe are related, were detained at their home near 79th Street and Hillside Road in East Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the raid, the county’s rapid response hotline received a call from a detained individual’s family member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Engen said she hadn’t seen any proof of a warrant to search the house, she said that in most instances where ICE detains people at private residences, it happens when someone inside allows ICE access. Although people have the right not to open their doors, it often feels like they cannot in the moment, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the arrests, all of the individuals were first taken to ICE’s field office in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference Thursday, Nikolas De Bremaeker, one of Centro Legal’s attorneys who has been in communication with the detained individuals, said the minor, a 17-year-old boy, was forced to remain in a cement-floored holding cell for hours with just a piece of plastic to use as a blanket.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was terrified. He was in tears,” De Bremaeker said. “When I had to explain that his family members had been transferred, he burrowed down in tears, just feeling left behind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the evening, he was taken to sleep at a hotel before being returned to custody at the office on Wednesday morning. While it is illegal under federal law for ICE to detain a minor for more than 24 hours in facilities that don’t meet specific standards in most cases, Engen said a hotel stay does not constitute release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He wasn’t released to a hotel where he had freedom of movement,” she said. “He was brought to a hotel where he was then being guarded by ICE overnight.”[aside postID=news_12051954 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/NationalGuardTrumpAP.jpg']Engen added that the others were forced to stay in the immigration office overnight, which isn’t set up to house people. ICE’s policy says detainees should not be kept in holding facilities for more than 12 hours, “absent exceptional circumstances.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve heard reports of people being held there overnight, sleeping on the floor with no mattress, no blankets, inadequate food, inadequate water,” she said. “We haven’t been able to get detailed reports of the conditions of these specific people, [but] with many others in similar circumstances, we’ve gotten confirmation that they’re held in very inhumane conditions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of Centro Legal’s attorneys, Nikolas De Bremaeker, has been advocating for the minor and the young adult with Down syndrome to be released, but was given very little contact with the detainees before their transfers out of state on Thursday, Engen told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They operate in the shadows. They do everything possible to prevent attorneys from having access to their clients,” she said, adding that the young people have also been prohibited from communicating with their families. “Other than very, very minimal contact last night, [both] have been prohibited from having any contact with family members, which is blatantly illegal given their inability to — the minor being underage and the adult being disabled — to consent to things, sign documents themselves.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE did not respond to KQED’s request for comment by the time of publication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Engen said the incident should be a reminder that people have the right to decline ICE officials’ entrance to their homes and can revoke permission at any time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This wasn’t an instance of ICE roaming the streets or roaming a neighborhood looking for people; it’s just an example to highlight the importance of knowing what your rights are,” she said. “Once they are allowed into your home, [ICE] can pick up anybody they see, and that appears to be exactly what happened here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/ahall\">Alex Hall \u003c/a>contributed to this report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
