NIDA Contest Entry

Ashley, Bishop Paiute, Age 14, California

Representation

I strengthen my nation by giving of my time and volunteering at our tribal community events, as Jr. Miss Pabanamanina 2019/2021 I feel it is important to set a good example and represent my title well. I am also a member of the Bishop Tribal Youth Council a UNITY affiliated youth council I serve as the secretary and I believe as a youth leader we need to be involved and live a good clean lifestyle. I enjoy basketball and softball and going to powwows my dance style is Jingle. I will continue to work hard to show youth to be a active and involved our representation matters.

Hi Auntie! I’m white, but I’m dating someone Indigenous. His family doesn’t seem to like me? Is it wrong for us to date?
