Adon Vazquez

Ambassador

Adon Vazquez

Adon, Eastern Band of Cherokee, displays his pride by the role he plays as a youth leader in a program for native youth. Through his role as a We R Native Ambassador, he hope to not only get to know more native youth, but also address problems in other native communities and help overcome those problems. When Adon is not working or in class, you can find him with the high school marching band or on stage with the drama club.

A teen recently told me that using the phrase “find your tribe” or using the word “tribe” is offensive to Native Americans. I wanted to ask a reliable source if this is true or is simply an opinion. What are your thoughts?
