CSVANW HOSTS SUCCESSFUL 6th ANNUAL NATIVE YOUTH SUMMIT!
#WeAreTheMovement
Nearly 40 Youth from across New Mexico joined us in Santa Fe for CSVANW's 6th Annual Native Youth Summit. The excitement was contagious!
Our Annual summits provide Native Youth with interactive opportunities and physical challenges to help them learn the skills they need to address the real world issues they are facing. Workshops this year focused on leadership development, trust building, healthy relationships and healthy communication, and domestic violence in the home.

RESILIENT INDIGENOUS YOUTH KNOWLEDGE- Reflections on the CSVANW Native Youth Summit:
#WeAreTheMovement
By Keioshiah Peter
If there is one word that could encompass the vibrant atmosphere of the 6th Annual "We Are The Movement" Native Youth Summit 2017, it would have to be EMPOWERMENT.
The 6th Annual Native Youth Summit follows our previous years of Indigenous youth engagement by focusing on empowering our future tribal leaders. It also provides a unique opportunity for the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women to support our generation to continue to create social change to stop the cycles of violence and abuse toward our Native women and children. This year we were able to bring together 37 young people to Santa Fe, New Mexico for a four-day powerful leadership development experience to connect, challenge, and cultivate the voices of our cohort of Indigenous youth ranging in age from 12-18 years old.

NEW CSVANW WEBSITE!
Be sure to check it out!
At CSVANW, we are focused on shaping policy, conducting outreach, increasing awareness, informing priorities and working to ensure that our tribal communities are represented within conversations where we have historically been underrepresented in the tribal domestic and sexual violence work. Our grounding in the movement to end violence is not only to organize, but to help mobilize our communities towards healthier families and healthier communities. Our work gives us unique insight into how to increase social change and gender justice advocacy through community-based solutions to violence. The voices of our communities, and the strengths of our women and children, shape our priorities and approach. Keep checking back to see updates to our website!.

CSVANW RECIEVES PROCEEDS FROM 13TH ANNUAL AMERIND RISK GOLF TOURNAMENT
#TribesProtectingTribes
This year CSVANW was named a recipient of
AMERIND Risk's 13th Annual Protecting Tribal Families Golf Tournament charity fundraiser that was held in April. The completely sold out tournament has raised over $100,000 since its inception and this year the proceeds go directly toward two Native organizations-
CSVANW and the
American Indian Cancer Foundation.
Deleana OtherBull, CSVANW's Executive Director, was honored to receive the giant check on Monday, July 3rd, and says "monies will go directly to fund outreach efforts that CSVANW may not have otherwise had to opportunity
to support without this generous donation from AMERIND." To learn more about the golf tournament click here.
