He also announced that he will host
a White House Tribal Youth Gathering
in the summer of 2015 and the 36 youth
ambassadors will be able to attend.
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

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!

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.
