Cultivating Cultural Sensitivity and Future Leaders
Cultural sensitivity is an essential skill that begins with our youth, as they represent the future of our communities. We are proud to collaborate with local schools to provide in-depth educational programs that celebrate and illuminate our rich tribal history and culture.
Through these partnerships, we offer a variety of engaging activities, including traditional dances, immersive storytelling sessions, and informative workshops that delve into our cultural practices and values. These experiences are designed not only to engage students but also to educate students about the significance of our heritage.
Our overarching goal is to cultivate a deeper understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures among students. We aim to empower them with the knowledge and tools necessary to advocate for cultural awareness and respect in their communities. By instilling these values early on, we hope to inspire a new generation of leaders who will appreciate diversity and promote inclusivity in all aspects of life.
