In July, student members of United National Indian Tribal Youth – otherwise known as UNITY – took an educational trip to Washington DC to participate in UNITY’s National Conference.
UNITY is a national organization that was established with the purpose of fostering “the spiritual, mental, physical, and social development of American Indian, Native Hawaiian, and Alaska Native youth, and to help build a strong, unified, and self-reliant Native America through greater youth involvement.”
The theme for this year’s UNITY conference was “Healing the Spirit of Native Youth.” Students attended culturally immersive presentations and activities, including the opening ceremony which features drums and a traditional skirt and shirt fashion show. Students also attended a variety of presentations featuring Native American speakers and allies.
