Nathan Solorio, 19, is a proud member of Baaskaandibewiziibing (Brokenhead Ojibway Nation) and Okweanashkoziibiing (Roseau River Anishinabe Firsr Nation) in Manitoba Canada. He currently lives and works in Mechanicsburg Pennsylvania, while remaining connected to his communities back home.

In June 2026, Nathan graduated from Central Penn College in Medical Assisting and Associated Programs. Whether through healthcare or leadership, Nathan strives to make a meaningful impact by leading with compassion, respect, and integrity.

Nathan’s journey with UNITY began in 2022 in Minneapolis Minnesota where he was recognized as a UNITY 25 Under 25 honoree. During the same conference, he was elected as Northeast Representative, serving Native youth from 2022 to 2024. Throughout his term, he worked to build relationships with native youth, encourage greater participation in the Northeast region, and represent the voices of young people across the Northeast Region.

After completing his term, Nathan stepped away from leadership for a year to focus on his education and successfully earn his college degree. That time allowed him to grow personally and professionally while preparing for the next chapter of his leadership journey. With new experiences, a stronger sense of purpose, and renewed motivation, Nathan returned ready to serve as Male Co-President, believing he could accomplish even more by building on the experience he gained during his first term. 

Nathan is excited to work alongside the newly elected Executive Committee and continue creating opportunities for native youth across turtle island. He believes that the negativity or poor behavior of others should never discourage someone from pursuing their goals of serving their communities. Nathan hopes to lead by example, encouraging native youth to stay true to themselves, keeping moving forward, and never let anyone stand in the way of the difference they are capable of making.
