In July, Virlencia Begay (Navajo), age 20, hosted a youth day called Nee’Niji. Activities included health awareness presentations, traditional teachings,physical activities (5k run, basketball, kickball, volleyball), college prep advice and a water balloon fight 🙂 The group applied for and received a WeR Native mini grant for $475 to help advertise, provide food and purchase school supplies to give out. They promoted their event by hanging up fliers,word of mouth and shared on social media. The event was a huge success and created a fun and supportive environment for over 200 people!
I’m an native elder (Pomo) my older grandchildren were given a Indian name and younger ones do not. I no longer know of spiritual person to do that. So would love to give my grandchildren a Indian name is it proper for me to have that privilege.
