Serving the Crossroads of Indian Country for over 50 years
To empower our American Indian youth elders families and community by promoting self-determination and economic mental and physical health through education advocacy and cultural enrichment.
Empowering American Indian youth elders families and the broader community is a vital mission that hinges on promoting self-determination and well-being across various dimensions. By prioritizing education we can equip young people with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate and thrive in an increasingly complex world while also preserving the rich cultural heritage that defines their identity. Advocacy plays a crucial role in amplifying their voices ensuring that their rights and needs are acknowledged and addressed at both local and national levels. Fostering economic health involves creating opportunities for sustainable development and entrepreneurship which can lead to greater financial independence and security. Meanwhile focusing on mental and physical health is essential for building resilient communities capable of facing the challenges of today and tomorrow. Cultural enrichment ties all these efforts together as it nurtures a sense of pride and belonging empowering individuals to contribute meaningfully to their communities. Through these combined efforts American Indian communities can achieve a future that honors their past while embracing new possibilities.
