Traditionally, our young people were trained, mentored and taught how to live a good life. Through hands-on experiences, stories and teachings, they learned how to be a good relative. The Native Youth Wellness Warrior Camp is intended to provide healing opportunities and skill development through ceremony, workshops, activities, movement, traditional games, crafts, horseback riding and more. Youth participants will be given tools needed to live a life of balance.
In a village setting, young people will meet and network with other Native youth from around the country and work in small and large groups to accomplish various tasks. Life-long friendships are often developed. Connecting with our earth is a healing tool. Meals are cooked outdoors on an open fire, the tribal longhouse is the main gathering place and most activities will be outdoors. Youth will camp in yurt tents, tipi or have the option of staying in the local tribal hotel. |

Dealing and Healing from Loss & Grief
with Charles Tail Feathers, Jillene Joseph, & Robert Johnston Registration Fee: $395 Native people, families and communities experience much loss and consequently grief during a lifetime. Death of loved ones, suicide, loss of relationships, living in the past due to daily reminders of pain and hurt experienced by a different generation and more. This often keeps Native people in a state of grief and keeps us stuck. Due to the impacts of colonization, healthy grieving processes have faded and have been replaced by unhealthy grieving practices including not grieving at all. Unresolved grief impacts tribal and organizational leaders, clients of programs, staff, young people and every community member. This creates negative energy in our homes, places of work and community and we feed off of that energy which promotes more negative actions and responses which then contributes to chronic negativity that plagues many of us. This training is to help individuals, tribal and organizational programs better understand grief, grieving and how to help yourself and others through the grieving process. Each participant will receive a handout packet, resources and ideas to integrate into programming for their community. Whether you work with youth, health, social services, law enforcement or beyond, learning how to move beyond grief will positively impact you and the people you serve. |

Choose Respect
- Men's Mentoring Program to End Violence with Gene Tagaban Registration Fee: $395 Tribal communities embrace strong efforts of cultural revitalization, community engagement and provide healing opportunities. Yet, physical violence, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking and child sexual abuse continues on tribal lands, in urban centers and areas in between- violence against women by men. Most often, it is women helping other women to heal from these traumatic experiences, bringing awareness to the prevalence of violence and helping women learn more about healthy relationships. Where are the men in all of this? Small pockets of men across the Nation are stepping up to make positive change, to take responsibility to hold themselves and other men accountable and to END violence against women. There is much more work to be done. This new training being offered by the Native Wellness Institute will provide a framework for men to engage in conversation with each other about violence against women, to help men of all ages to better understand where their hurt, pain, anger and rage comes from and how men can gather with other men, formally and informally, to choose respect to end this violence. The training materials from this training will come from the Native Wellness Institute, the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, Dr. Clayton Small’s The Good Road of Life and the National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center. |
