Kutoven Stevens is a Yerington Paiute artist, distance runner, and Indigenous advocate pursuing a BFA in Studio Art at Washington State University, where he competes in track and cross country. A recent sub-4-minute miler and West Regional qualifier, Stevens is working toward becoming an NCAA All-American, with plans to run professionally before transitioning to marathons and ultramarathons while pursuing a career as an oil painter. Stevens founded and hosts the annual 50-mile Remembrance Run, held each August to honor those affected by American Indian boarding schools, including his great-grandfather, who attended a boarding school in the early 1900s and ran away three times. The event has partnered with major brands including Wings of America, Nike N7, Patagonia, Kuuk Water, and GU Energy Chews, among many others. Stevens is also preparing to host running camps nationwide alongside Remaining Native, a documentary following his journey from high school to the NCAA Division I level.
