We know that culture plays an important role in maintaining and improving our community’s health. Whether it’s hitting the powwow trail or pulling in canoe journey, summer is a great time to connect with your culture. Encourage youth you know to get involved in cultural activities and share their experience by entering this month’s We R Native contest.

This month’s contest asks American Indian and Alaska Native youth 15-24 years old, “How do you #REPRESENT? What are some ways you’re connecting with culture and showing your Native Pride this summer?” Youth can enter online or by sharing their story on social media using #represent #weRnative. Stories will be featured on weRnative.org and youth will be entered to win up to $150 (1st place), $100 (2nd place), or $75 (3rd place)!

Deadline for entries: August 20th
