From there, she went to Los Angeles to do stand-up comedy.

Dykas said she went to L.A. to do comedy and became involved in the Native American community while she was there.

Her mother is Mexican and a Native American from the Yaqui Tribe in Arizona and Sonora, Mexico.

According to Dykas, because she is a brown woman, everyone in L.A. called her Pocahontas.

"Although I connected with a large Native American community there, it's good to be back here," said Dykas, who returned to the Southland in December and moved to Chicago in June.Comment:  For more on the subject, see Native Plays and Other Stage Shows.
