Native Empowerment Schools
National throughout Turtle Island
Native Empowerment is planting seeds of hope in Native Youth.
We share our personal experience, strength and hope of growing up in alcoholism, abuse and poverty.
We share where we are at now,and how we got here, and how we stay here,
We help fill the students tool box with practical tools for dealing the prevalent issues.
Creator plants seeds of hope in souls.
It isn't enough to tell a child or anyone to "not drink." It isn't enough to read about addiction.
Real change happens when hearts are opened. Real change happens when souls are touched and creator inspires us. We believe personal stories coming from Native Americans shared with youth is the beginning.
Children need to know that they matter. That they are not alone. That it is okay to talk. That there is hope.
Our speakers have walked the Red Road. Some are trained in trauma healing and Wellbriety Mending Broken Hearts.
