Three Cherokee Youth Council representatives traveled to Washington, DC recently to meet with youth tribal representatives from all over the country for the United National Tribal Youth Inc. mid-year meeting. Representatives from the Cherokee Nation were present and joined the EBCI representatives throughout the meeting.

“Our youth had the opportunity to interact with tribal youth across the U.S. as they worked together to prepare for the upcoming UNITY conference in July,” said Kanott. “This conference alone changes the lives of our youth each year to help them develop the leadership skills to better our native communities.”
