American Indian Family Center Day

In late August,  we worked with American Indian Family Center Youth Program Manager, Alicia Smith, and Youth Community Specialist, Quanah Walker, to host a day specifically for American Indian youth. The day of hands-on activities focused upon the interrelatedness of the environment, health, and cultural traditions as aspects of Indigenous nation sovereignty. We also worked with the Kitty Andersen Youth Science Center (YSC) at the Science Museum. In the picture, the youth group is learning about the affects of pollution within watersheds from the YSC Big Back Yard Crew and how this applies to tribal lands.
