Past week I attended Native Youth in Food and Agriculture Summit held for the past 6 years in Fayetteville, AR at the University of Arkansas. Accompanying around 38 other youth from around the nation pursuing food sovereignty, nutrition and health, law and policy, and Conservation of our lands. this opportunity has been the most shaping experience I have ever been apart of. I thought I came in with a understanding of what I wanted to heal in my community and I realized through this summit the possibilities and steps to get there to make ambitions reality. This has brought folks into my life that I will be networking and communicating with for what might be my entire career. Native Country is shaping youth like no other generation before me and the relatives I've made at this event get to be apart of it!

I live on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. This picture was taken at Horseshoe Lake with my sisters.
I love nature - the coolness of the breeze, the refreshing spring waters, and the beautiful scenery always puts my heart and mind at ease. I stay healthy and strong with all the outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, fishing, camping and what a great place to do all these activities than in my backyard on my beautiful reservation!

I am Alutiiq (Alaskan Native). After contact from Russia and then Europe, our population and culture was dwindled down to nearly nothing. For a long time it was discouraging to me that I didn't look Native and that I didn't know much about my tribe and I didn't know what the future held for my tribe. Recently our tribe began to find history and artifacts that help our future to learn about our culture. Me and my mom have helped to put together the first Alutiiq culture camp for the Pacific Northwest that consisted of 25 eager learners and 5 teachers from early teens to our elders. It was a four day camp where we learned about our history, traditions, and our culture. It was an amazing, emotional, and encouraging opportunity to learn about my culture and it gave me a new hope and pride for my tribe. This just happened a month ago and we're already planning for our next one in 2020 to be bigger and even more of a learning opportunity.

This Is #INDIANCOUNTRY
We went on a hike and before we started walking we had to pray for the land. We had to give back with this tobacco and in return we could walk its trails without disturbing the nature. In my picture i'm holding tobacco and the background is nothing but beautiful growung plants.we must pray for our earth everyday, and thank her for letting us see what beauty she brings. That is one of the ways i protect this precious earth, is by praying!
