Jeidah Dezurney

Jeidah Dezurney, 17yrs, Siletz, is a community activist that is very involved in her community. She is very passionate about abstinence of drugs and alcohol and is very active in many clubs that promotes other healthy ways of living. Serving as her basketball team captain, she knows the duties that come along with being a leader and we are excited to have her on our team. Jeidah will be promoting We R Native at various conferences around the nation, so be on the lookout for her!

In Maine, many native children were taken and placed in non-native families up until the 1970s. I believe my late grandmother was one of these children, but I don’t know if these records were kept. How can we reconnect when there was so much displacement?
