Erika Ramirez

Ambassador

Erika Ramirez

Erika Ramirez, Muckleshoot, wants to be a voice for her people. Being a We R Native Ambassador will enable Erika to do just that. Erika already gives back her time and attention to her community in many ways, including helping to organize potlatches, graduations, and the 50th anniversary of Head Start. These projects are just a few ways in which Erika shows her hard-working and determined attitude. She will bring these attributes to We R Native over the next year, helping to promote it to other teens and young adults. Watch out for Erika and We R Native in a school, community, or conference near you!

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?
