Becoming Independent

Being independent is when you don't need as much help from others. There are many benefits from being independent. For one thing, you'll have more freedom to do stuff. Another benefit is that you can have some quality privacy time.The world is a cruel place. You make friends and lose friends, but in the end, the one person you always have to depend on is yourself.

Monthly Contest

In honor of Self-love Awareness Month, We R Native is partnering with the Center for Native American Youth (CNAY) and the Native Wellness Institute (NWI) to launch the Celebrating Self Love Call for Submissions. Until October 20, 2020, we are accepting submissions from Native American youth ages 24 and under to showcase what self-love and self-care mean to them.

We are asking Native youth to submit entries that respond to the following prompt: Celebrating Self-love: What does Self-Love and Self-Care mean to you? What does it look like for you, your family, or your community? How do you care for your mind, body, and spirit to be holistically well?

Send us a video, picture, or art piece of your creation that represents this prompt. For your participation, your relatives at CNAY, NWI, and We R Native, and THRIVE will send you a Healing Kit to support your wellness journey. If you have any questions, please reach out to: ltate@npaihb.org.
