During my stay in Washington, D.C., I met many people. I met President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and other national leaders. During the conference, I spoke in front of a panel and Tribal leaders from all over Indian Country on issues that affect our youth and shared my ideas about programs that could help. After I spoke, many Tribal leaders approached 4 • Siletz News • me and thanked me for addressing issues that affect our Native youth. I went to the conference having sub- stance abuse and suicide among American Indians in mind. For us youth, it meant a lot that the president and other leaders cared enough to have us there and would encour- age us to voice our opinions about problems. I was thankful to be there and I’d like to give a big thanks to everyone who helped with my nomination form and the Tribal Council, who sent me. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I feel so blessed that I was able to attend! January 2015 From Wisdom of the Elders Wisdom of the Elders is preparing for 2015 film festivals with two documentary film entries: Athabascans: The Caribou People and Inupiaq: People of the Whale. These 30-minute productions feature Alaska Native Elders and cultural leaders along with observations of unprecedented climate issues. Eight film screenings and community consultations were held in 2014 in Portland, Ore., in sponsorship with Multnomah County and other com- munity organizations. Executive Producer Rose High Bear (Deg Hit’an Dine) will travel to Fair- banks, Alaska, in March to screen the works in progress at the 2015 Alaska Native Studies Conference and seek final feedback from UAF faculty and com- munity members. We then will complete final post-production editing and enter the documentaries into American Indian and environmental justice film festivals in 2015. We continue to seek funding to produce this ongoing series of environ- mental justice documentaries and radio programs. The first two radio programs will be distributed in 2015 through Koahnic Broadcasting’s Native Voice “The Old Wisdom” One to more than 50 Indian radio stations around the country. Stay tuned for announcements on two video screenings and community consul- tations coming up in February featuring video productions by Native youth peer mentors featuring our 2014 Summer Field Science Camps. The screenings will be co-sponsored by the Native American Youth and Family Center and Beaverton School District’s Title VII Indian Education Program.
