We are the Center for Native American Youth

Our Vision is for all Native American youth to lead full and healthy lives, to have equal access to opportunity, and to draw strength from their culture and inspire one another.

The character I made is me as a dragon. I like the character Kurom from Sanrio. I also like Good Omens. I create a lot of fanart for this tv series. The food in the corner represents my favorite foods. The pink fish is one of my favorite keychains. The clothes drawn are traditional clothing we wear. My favorite is the green bat skirt. The Vocaloid program is what got me into Art. Art in general is a part of my identity. I like trying new mediums. Art is what makes me “faloolee”, which is my Indian name.

"Through movements like Break the Silence, we can empower youth to heal from the physical and emotional wounds of sexual abuse and rehabilitate our Native communities to a state of resilience. With something as simple as a water balloon, we can rehabilitate, educate, and inspire cultural change."
