Every year the Center for Native American Youth picks a handful of outstanding Native youth who are working to make change in their communities. Charitie Ropati (Native Village of Kongignak) wants to decolonize education and is working in her school district to include regalia at graduation. Madison White (Mohawk Nation of Akwesasne) is devoted to healing from intergenerational trauma. She is making strides toward starting a sexual assault support group, a language immersion school, and a traditional resource center. Shandiin Herrera (Diné) is a Gates Millennium Scholar, a Udall Scholar, and a Chief Manuelito Scholar studying at Duke University. We’ll talk with them about their plans for making big and small changes in Native America.
