Top We R Native Pages in 2019:
Impact on Youth Voices in 2019:
Last year, we interviewed teens and young adults who use We R Native’s website and social media channels about their experience. This is some of what they told us:
- It makes me feel more connected to my culture - just know that I’m with a community of people who are like me. Just having the little reminders and posts, and having it in my news feed, really helps me.
- The text messaging services make[s] me feel like I'm not alone. That's the biggest thing [it] does for me… it gives me that sense of solidarity, sense of belonging, [that We R Native’s] paying attention to these issues.
- I used to believe that mental illness was something to be ashamed about and the way that people look at it on the [We R Native] website - they look at it as a story that can help so many other people - knowing that they're not alone, knowing that there are other people to talk to.
- I like to check out We R Native’s website a lot, because of the different resources and different things that are there. I think it's really great to have those resources… it's definitely helped some of my friends when they needed help.

2019 State of Native Youth Report:
Native Youth Count

|
Last month, our partners at the Center for Native American Youth released its annual State of Native Youth report. The report highlights young leaders who are working hard to create a brighter future for tribal nations, the programs that help them do so, and the policy issues that impact their lives.
The report also shares what they’ve learned from community meetings with youth and service providers about the priorities and solutions that matter most.
