What if…No one tried to discredit ethnic groups, experiences, cultures and what they found offensive? Tribes were able to exercise full sovereignty? Native youth were given the tools they need to reach their full potential (sustainable living, top of the line school facilities, committed teachers/mentors, supportive communities, access to better healthcare, fully funded programs) and had nothing to stop them?
What if tribal land trusts were fully restored and the nations became sovereign sanctuary areas? What if we could fundamentally rethink punishment – abolish prisons, juvenile detention?
What if… a rural/native college going culture. A K-12 particular intense focus on middle school model. A 3 Gen approach community wide culture change
