Support the Akwesane Freedom School and Theresa Bear Fox to empower Native Youth!   Click Here For More Information!   THERESA BEAR FOX Shekon Sewakwekon, (Greetings everyone), My name is Theresa “Bear” Fox, my Mohawk name is Kenkiohkoktha, and I am of the Wolf Clan. My Mohawk name means I am at the back of a crowd of people or I am the end of a long line of people. I have five children and I am married to Sky Fox.   My oldest is a girl and I have four boys. I was born into a big family. There are eight boys, six girls and I am the youngest. My Mother and Father were hard working. They made sure we were always provided for. They always made sure we had a table full of food and clean clothes to wear. We didn't have a lot of money, but I didn't feel that we had to go without anything. I always felt like we were rich, because I was so happy and I always felt loved. We always looked out for one another, and at times my sisters were like my Mothers too. I try and raise my children with the same family values. I taught them to take care of each other. I taught them to respect their elders and to take pride in who they are.  I encourage them to learn our language and culture so they can teach their young ones someday. My goal is to raise good mothers and fathers. I  live in Akwesasne, and I love our community. I especially love how our people care for one another. If someone is going through hard times, the community comes together for a fundraiser and a lot of support. I always try to do my best to help out when I can. I am part of a woman's singing group called “Kontiwennenhawi” which means Carriers of the Words. We get together once a week and we talk, laugh and learn songs. Our duties as a Singing Society are to help out in our community. We are often asked to sing for visitors or for the children in our community. We help out at fundraisers and donate money to people who are in need. We have a community fund account and we raise money by selling our CD's or by singing outside of our community. Niawen kowa, (Big thanks)

In this episode of The Sentinel, we focus on the next generation of Native leaders. We are joined by three newly elected officers of the NCAI Youth Commission. The Commission was established in 1997 to provide a space for young tribal leaders to pinpoint issues of importance and strategize paths of action,then advocate for those issues on behalf of Native youth.  In this lively discussion facilitated by Alison Black, NCAI's Youth Leadership and Training Coordinator, we hear firsthand from the officers about their respective backgrounds, what being on the Commission means to them, and what they hope to achieve during their terms of office. Our listeners will be inspired by their passion, their knowledge, their hope for the future, and their commitment to advancing the principles of tribal sovereignty both within NCAI and within their own communities.

A sleepaway camp designed for and by Indigenous theater aficionados is being held at Portland State University July 29 through August 2. The 26 students in attendance will live in the dorms and attend daily theater trainings as well as college prep sessions. The students also get to meet and work with Native staff on campus. By the end of the week-long camp, students showcase their work in a variety of ways: some will act in student-written plays, some will create writing or art projects and others will perform in a short media project which is pitched by students then edited by camp staff. This is the fourth year of the camp, which has been held at different college campuses across the west coast. Last year, some of the students had the opportunity to participate in the Broadway production of “The Thanksgiving Play” by Larissa FastHorse. The camp has previously been held at University of Nevada at Reno, UC Berkeley and Southern Oregon University. Jeanette Harrison, co-founder of the theater camp for Native youth and creative director of Bag and Baggage’s Native theater project, joins us to share more. Returning campers Gia Fisher and Niyla Willow also join us. Fisher will be performing in “Diné Nishłį (i am a sacred being) Or, A Boarding School Play” by Blossom Johnson and directed by Harrison. The play will tour throughout the greater Portland area this September.

They discuss the impact of colonization on education, and they reaffirm the existing support that occurs in Native communities. Furthermore, they offer ways that research can be more nuanced for Native communities to perhaps better measure support for males, use traditional milestone markers instead of age, pivot away from Western terms like informal and formal supports, and focus on involving the whole community.

Dr. Gaggino and Dr. Empey urge all of the listeners, (especially all you early career physicians), to step up and take leadership roles at every level within the medical community.

Through cultural competency, collaboration, and advocacy, we can prioritize their unique needs and ensure that their voices are heard. It is our call to action to dismantle systemic barriers and work towards healing and justice.

Launching Lakota Voices Pine Ridge is WAY TOO FAMILIAR with the tired narrative of Indian Country as poverty porn. It is ground zero for media that perpetuate the narrative. It’s also the example used by those trying  to counter it. But there’s another story about Pine Ridge and Indian Country generally. It’s our story told by us. In general, I call this story NextGen Native. And I’m excited to launch a series that focuses on this story in a specific community. The series is called Lakota Voices. (ed note: I know the pic below is of kids from Rosebud, but they are with FLOTUS which is awesome. Let's roll with the flow)   A photo posted by Pete Souza (@petesouza) on May 27, 2015 at 2:47pm PDT Native Youth at the Forefront Native youth issues are receiving significant focus right now, and it’s powerful. I remember listening to President Obama describe his and Mrs. Obama’s experience visiting Indian Country and how that prompted the entire Administration to focus more on Native youth. The President launched Generation Indigenous to focus attention and resources on these issues. Even though fewer and fewer people would consider me as part of any “youth,” this initiative moved me greatly. I’ve fought back tears listening to the president speak of his conversations with Native youth. Through empowerment, focused resources, and a growing connection with peers in other communities, Native Youth are using their platform to tell their stories and shape their communities. One of the resources they’ve requested is more positive content. This series provides Lakota specific stories. But it’s part of the broader effort of NextGen Native to change the narratives within our communities and about our communities. NextGen Native & Lakota Voices NextGen Natives challenge the narrative of our communities often portrayed in the media. The NextGen Native podcast is one conduit for us to share these efforts with each other and the rest of the world. It provides a broader lens for us to see that despite ongoing challenges, we have some amazing things happening in our communities. It humanizes our people. Typically, NextGen Native stories are from people aged roughly 25-45. But as I’ve said before, every generation is the next generation. Elders can share their stories for the next generation to learn from, but they can also hear what direction the next generation is taking their communities. Native youth can learn from their cousins and aunties and uncles about the work they are doing. They can learn there are so many different ways to positively impact their communities. Lakota Voices features Lakota people doing great things. This is part of a broader effort to build partnerships to share this content not only through NextGen Native but with others in Lakota communities. Join the conversation using #nextgennative and #lakotavoices. Better yet, join the conversation in person with friends, family, teachers, elders and others.

This week's Tick Talk we're revisiting a podcast written and produced in collaboration with the Native Youth Program out of the Museum of Anthropology. The Native Youth Program (NYP) is a youth summer program that has been in place at the Museum of Anthropology (MOA) since 1979. Each year, six urban Aboriginal youth from the Greater Vancouver area are selected to participate. Through a focus on cultural connection and hands on learning, they explore their own identities and gain workforce skills. Indigenous guest speakers and artists also work with the interns to help them complete arts- and media-related projects. This year as a final project, the NYP produced a podcast with CiTR. http://moa.ubc.ca/nyp/
