The Center for Native American Youth has held roundtable conversations with over 150 Native American youth (grades 6 through 12) in Alaska, Arizona, Denver, Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, DC and Wisconsin. During these roundtables, the Center's staff moderates one-hour conversations with small groups of youth to ask questions about the challenges and successes facing young peopleand their tribal communities. In addition to these roundtables, the Center partnered with the National Congress of American Indians to hold a youth summit in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in June 2011 and with the National Indian Health Board and Healthy Native Communities Partnership to hold a Native Youth Track focused on health and wellness in Anchorage, Alaska in September 2011. The purpose of the Voices of Native Youth Report is to summarize and share what the Center has learned during these roundtables.
