The SOESD Indian Education Program is looking for donations, volunteers, and sponsors for a community healing giveaway event on the Spring Equinox. Teresa’s office was lost in the alameda fire along with small gift items. We would love anything to share with the students, their families and our wonderful NASU advisors. We will also be honoring 2 community members for their contributions to our community and support of our Indian Education program. They/yaka have greatly improved the lives of our Native American and Alaskan Native youth. They/yaka require no introduction, Dr. Brook Colley with Native American Studies at Southern Oregon University and Chava Florendo with Southern Oregon University’s Youth Programs, Konaway Nika Tillicum and All My Relations.
Send a story, a song, or a handmade or purchased item. We are also planning on having a remembrance of photos for those we have lost. We are acknowledging how hard this pandemic has been and moving forward to a place of healing together as we’ve always done. To make a donation for students or volunteer, contact Teresa Cisneros TERESA_CISNEROS@SOESD.K12.OR.US or Jasilyn Swick at JASILYN_SWICK@SOESD.K12.OR.US.
