Native American Heritage Month Neilson Powless
 
Neilson Powless, born September 3, 1996, of the Oneida Nation, is an American professional cyclist and the first Native American to compete in the Tour de France, an event he’s competed in every year since 2020. His older sister Shayna Powless is also a professional cyclist.

Neilson Powless turned professional in 2018, competing in his first grand tour at the 2019 Vuelta a Espana for the LottoNL-Jumbo team. In 2021, he won the Clásica de San Sebastián for EF Team, while also earning top 5 results at the 2021 UAE Tour (5th) and UCI World Championship (5th).

Since 2022, his professional cycling career has been filled with top 5 finishes across many events, including winning the Japan Cup twice (2022 and 2024), the Grande Prix La Marseillaise (2023), the Gran Piemonte (2024), the Dwars door Vlaaderen (2025), and the GP Gippingen (2025).

Powless is a primary supporter of his older sister’s Dream Catcher Foundation, which works to provide mentorship and sports equipment to children on reservations, and brings awareness to the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous people. He also hosts the annual Powless Grand Fondo event, which celebrates the Powless family’s journey in professional cycling.

This month we celebrate Neilson Powless and his many successes in professional road cycling, and for bringing awareness to issues that affect Indigenous people across America. For more coverage, click the link in our bio.
