Power of Knowing

Here is the link to my video submission of a short movement piece!

Hello, I’m Chickamauga Cherokee and I’ve been involved with the Indigenous community in the greater Seattle area since I was a kid. I want my art piece to highlight the important of educating young people about substances to help them not misuse them rather than scaring youth into staying away from them.

I want to go to college and have good grades, but my family doesn’t have a lot of money. Should I still apply to schools? -Carlee
