I’ve left Lilah’s project. I feel like the communication we had was overlapping with a lot of ideas we were trying to bring all together. I feel this is the best option for me at this point. Now I will be focusing on a new idea that I had. I want to start a Native American Youth Leadership Program for all middle and high school students in Durango, CO. I want this program to give a safe place for youth to meet and strengthen as a whole and individually. This week I spent my time researching the different programs that are offered locally and nationally. I found out that there are thousands of Native Youth going out and gaining ground on environmental, political, and traditional concepts. Ohhh! I also found a mentor, Jessica McCallum. I feel she has a strong grasp of cultural intelligence and also respects all cultural immersions that have been brought to her. I think she will help me along my way and also give me the feedback that I will need during this project. My next step of action will be meeting with Yvonne Bilinski next Wednesday and getting some questions answered.
