Native Daughters Native Daughters is a collection of stories, profiles and multimedia projects about a diverse group of Native American women. Twitter:

They are healers and warriors, story tellers and law makers, leaders, environmentalists and artists. It is our belief that one cannot understand America without understanding Native Americans. One cannot understand Native America without understanding the historical, political and cultural role that Native American women have played and continue to play in indigenous life. Native Daughters is a tw

o-year project from the first meeting to the finished magazine and website, involving five University of Nebraska-Lincoln professors and about 30 students. The idea stemmed from several brainstorming sessions among professors looking for a new way to tell an older story about indigenous America. The magazine and website products were broken down into three semesters of work: Spring ’09 involving content producers traveling to Pine Ridge during spring break for grass roots reporting; Fall ’09 involving students writing stories, shooting photos/video and creating new media; Spring ’10 involving students editing and pulling together content to produce the finished printed and digital products. Native Daughters Oklahoma was started in Fall '12 with seven student writers, two documentary film/broadcast students and a web student. Four professors oversaw the team for two semesters of work funded by a donation from Muscogee (Creek) businessowner Ginette Overall. The next semester, ten students edited and designed the magazine and website, which is now available for purchase. Both magazines can be purchased by calling Joe Starita at 402.472.8280 or emailing [email protected].

"“I’ve always wanted to do this, ever since I was younger,” said Goodrich. “I want my camp to go back to the basics and the fundamentals. Camps have kind of strayed away from simple things, like dribbling for instance. How can you even get down the court if you can’t dribble the ball? We’ll work on these types of things together.”

The day will be split into two sessions, with a morning session from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. for children 8 to 13-years-old. The afternoon session will be for children 14 to 18-years-old and run from 1 to 4 p.m."

REGISTER: National Indigenous Women's Resource Center Webinar "Building Girls’ Protective Assets in Indian Country: Intentional Girl-Centered Program Design." Wed, Sep 19, 2018 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM CDT

The protective asset building approach emerged internationally in the late 1990s as a way to increase teenage girls’ resilience and overall capabilities. It grew in response to research showing that girls’ access to resources and support in their community shrinks at puberty due to heightened fears of sexual violence. At this life-stage girls are not well-served by programs that cater to either children or adult women.

Protective assets are strengths and skills held by girls which can help them stay safer, weather a crisis, and better plan for the future. Protective assets can include: a strong female support network; a safety plan; knowledge of her people’s culture and history; having all identification documents she is eligible for; knowing how and where to apply for educational and social benefits; financial literacy; a starter savings account; and others.

Girl-centered protective asset programs have been shown to help girls in different parts of their lives. These include having greater confidence, lower chances of experiencing sexual assault, better school performance, more health knowledge, and enhanced life planning skills.

The webinar will describe how the protective assets approach is being adapted for girls in Indian Country, and how you can join an initiative to help you build such a program in your own community.
