November is American Indian & Alaska Native Heritage Month and this year, a group of leading national Indian organizations and federal agencies have come together to focus the celebrations of the month on Native American and Alaska Native Youth.

Youth are a vital part of tribal communities, as leaders of the future, and enactors of change today. Addressing the unique challenges facing Native youth, such as poverty and health and educational disparities is a critical part of building healthy, sustainable tribal communities.

This effort is organized by the DC Native Public Relations Roundtable. The website is hosted by the National Congress of American Indians.
