Description:
The purpose of this program is to partner with tribes, Native nonprofit organizations, and Native community groups working in rural and reservation-based communities to preserve, strengthen, and/or renew Native culture and traditions among youth. This program funds projects that focus on youth and support the perpetuation of traditional ecological knowledge, spirituality, and the intergenerational transfer of knowledge systems, resulting in compassion, respect, dignity, reverence for nature, and care for each other and the earth. This program is intended to invest in youth and give them a sense of place and tradition in the community to help them develop as bright and capable future leaders.
