WALKER HATCH l 2025 Intern

Virginia Commonwealth University

The primary focus of my time with Menokin has been research focused, with an emphasis on descendent research and Native American history in regards to the Menokin/NNK area. 

I’m also an undergraduate at Virginia Commonwealth University, majoring in history with a focus in Native American history.

Originally, I’m from Bridgewater, Virginia. I graduated from Blue Ridge Community College in 2024 and transferred to VCU this year. I hope to pursue a Ph.D. focused in Native American history.

Apart from academic pursuits, I spend my free time playing guitar, being outside, or working out at the gym. I’m a big nature nerd, and anything to do with the outdoors piques my interest. I also enjoy reading and researching outside of school, and I am always looking for new things to learn!
