UNITY Youth Spotlight: Alyssa R. Franklin
“To me, being an environmental ambassador comes along with several responsibilities to my community, the global indigenous community, and all creation as a whole. One duty of being an environmental ambassador would be to set goals to attain based on what the problem is, where the problem is, who/what is causing the problem, etc. Another responsibility that I believe would come along with being an environmental ambassador is connecting with people to share and link knowledge and ideas across field of knowledge, such as modern science and traditional ecological knowledge to inform and mobilize communities across the globe. A third aspect of being an environmental ambassador would be to develop processes, programs, and/or initiatives to reach goals created to aim towards a more environmentally sustainable way of life for all people now and in the future.” said Alyssa Franklin.

FFA Member Preserves Indigenous and Agricultural Heritage

He served as the Nevada state FFA president from 2018-19. Ovando says his FFA experience looked different from most. Read More

Songs that were once letters
…”I recorded this for my wellness”
Native Youth submission By Sage Lacapa – Earth Ambassador 2019-2020
This was a personal project that I recorded and wrote on my own. I recorded an album with 8 of my own songs and 2 covers. This album is called, “Songs that were once letters”. Some letters were written last year and some were written recently before I recorded the album. As time had passed in quarantine, I had taken the opportunity and time to finish the letters that were gathering dust by turning them into songs. I was losing a bit of my wellness, wasting time and potential. I took the time to realize that I wasn’t doing the thing I loved, but rather ignoring it. I recorded this for my wellness, investing time into the things that you love, to do even if it doesn’t get much recognition. Read More
