Projects overview
Local Heroes
We recognize that heroes come in many forms and we celebrate our local heroes through our social media and local newspaper. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our community is seeing the faces of the courageous men and women on the frontline of their fight. We appreciate how our local heroes show up for all of us and contribute to our community’s sustainability.
COVID-19 Resource Flyers
We create and share Native-led content to support and inform our community through a culturally inclusive lense. This includes specific focus on the strengths of our local resources and leaders. Our content emphasizes safety measures and precautions using tribal-specific references. This includes messaging on fishing and upcoming deer season that resonate with our community much more than existing standard, non-Native messaging. We also develop content in response to updated public health safety measures as research evolves.
Events
We host a number of events each month focused on three main areas:
- Relations and Community Building: We host events such as Native Community Nights and Native Youth Nights where we host engaging virtual events such as Pictionary, Name that Tune and Charades. These events are designed to provide space for community members to join together, socialize, and have fun through this time of physical distancing.
- Community Wellness: We host a Wellness Series of events to support the mental health of our community members. These events are facilitated in collaboration with Native American professionals and leaders such as substance abuse counselors, therapists and community mentors.
