“I enjoy teaching traditional knowledge to the younger generations who are willing to learn and are curious about ancestral knowledge. My goals when working with our youth is teaching them who they are, teaching them to understand the two worlds they live in, and helping them reach their full mental/physical potential. It all comes down to being respectful, being gratified and being happy.”
I work at the Boys Youth Mentorship Program at the San Carlos Wellness Center.
I have a passion for working with the youth of my tribe.
The best parts of my job are sharing the history of my tribe
with the youth and helping the youth explore many positive opportunities that we have here on the San Carlos Apache Reservation.
I work as a youth Mentor at the San Carlos Wellness Center. I believe in using Ni'gosdzan (the Earth) to help Mentor the youth in what we call Go'zhoo, which is the beautiful way of the Apache Life.
Before I came to Wellness I was working with the youth by holding Recreational Outreaches to provide positive activities for
the youth in my community. I live with the same philosophy that Robert Nesta Marley did during his time on Earth. His biggest
quote that sticks with me today is, 'The people who were trying to make this world worse are not taking the day off. Why should I?
