Beyond high fives and selfies … Indian youth explore policy issues
“The Indian Child Welfare act was created in order to protect the best
interest of Indian Children and to promote the stability and security of
tribal communities and families. We as youth leaders know that our
identity; is who we are, is within our culture, and within the tribal
community that raises us. Our membership and blood quantum has never
defined us as members of our tribal communities. To us, we are raised by
tribal communities, because we learn not just from our family but from
the community as a whole. They teach us our languages, our traditions,
they show us who we are as American Indian/Alaskan Native youth, that is
a right every American Indian/Alaskan Native child should have. They
should not be taken from their tribal community, because when they are, a
piece of our culture is lost.”
