Good outlook for summer youth program
The outlook is positive for
the return of the Native As-
pirations summer youth em-
ployment and education pro-
gram.
Tribal health liaison
Caroline Cruz said the pro-
gram has received a prelimi-
nary okay, and will be pre-
sented to Tribal Council for
final approval.
The program is funded
through tribal Health and
Human Services.
Last summer, 96 young
people took part in Native
Aspirations, spending six
weeks at various jobs around
the reservation.
There is also a two-day a
week education component,
where students learn about
health, tribal culture, history
and related topics.
Ten of the Native Aspira-
tions positions are targeted to
college students, and the rest
are for high school-age stu-
dents. For more information

five on the reservation. This
is for young people age 16-
