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 an old photograph of my Grandpa to honor him for all of his accomplishments. I have always admired my grandfather as he played such an important part in leading our tribe for so many years. I try to carry on his sense of pride and love for our community. This piece depicts my grandpa doing what he loved most, playing positive songs about our Seminole culture.

"Not only we as Natives, but we as people, need to start investing in youth to combat the hardships they face. These challenges have gone on for far too long and we can be the generation to stand up and make change."
