New CNAY Data Spotlights Native Youth Priorities
Native youth perspectives are rarely prioritized in data collection and analysis. A new report by the Center for Native American Youth attempts to do both.
Did you know that Native youth who feel culturally educated are 4x more likely to see themselves as capable of making a difference?
This is just one of many stats we uncovered while compiling Center Us: A Native Youth Survey Report.
With Native American Heritage Month on the horizon, and the election of a lifetime fast approaching, it is our hope is that you will join us in using this data to advocate for the future our youth deserve. One with unwavering access to culturally-competent healthcare, reliable public safety and affordable education. One where they feel represented by their elected officials.
We envision a world in which all Native youth feel connected to their cultures and confident in their unique identities. Where Native traditions are valued, preserved and passed along for generations to come.
