Native Aspirations starting next week
Native Aspirations begins
on Monday, June 30, with
training and orientation. The
six-week program will give
young people a work experi-
ence and education.
This is a grant-funded pro-
gram for youth 14 and up,
said Caroline Cruz, tribal
health liaison, who organized
the program. There is fund-
ing for ten college students
as well, she said.
The youth who are partici-
pating completed core classes
earlier with Melinda Poitra,
tribal employment liaison.
Now the youth will work
at various departments of
the tribal organization, and
take required education
classes two days a week.
Native Aspirations is a coa-
lition group promoting
healthy activities for young
tribal members. The goal of
Native Aspirations is to give
the students an idea of job
skills needed in the workplace,
and a sense of the employ-
ment opportunities available
with the tribes.

beneficiary of the UAV test-
site program as it develops,
Anspach said. The FAA is
very supportive of the test-
sites, Anspach said.
There is pressure on the
FAA to establish standards of
operation for UAVs, as other
countries have overtaken the
U.S. in UAV technology.
