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.

I drew this for so many reasons. For me, many of our Native women are super hero’s yet I never see a Native woman super hero on TV or in books. So I created my own my own Native woman super hero. I took a photo of my Native woman super hero before I added color for a black and white look and then in color. I used my google phone and not sure if it meets the resolution color but can figure out if it doesn’t.

"An athlete must be strong physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. This is why I have chosen war canoe racing, a traditional sport to promote health and mental wellness. Racing not only brings life back to a traditional and endangered sport, it honors our elders and brings back the teachings and practices of our schlengen -- our way of life."
