Native youth are leading the movement to change the narrative about Native peoples. Through partnership with the Center for Native American Youth and Generation Indigenous, and with the funding support of Decolonizing Wealth and Native Americans in Philanthropy, IllumiNative hosted our first Native Youth Design Lab this summer in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Youth from tribal nations across the United States used IllumiNative’s research to design, create, and put into action Native Now- a campaign designed and implemented by Native youth to amplify today’s Native voices.

Native Now has created resources to educate non-Natives and support Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Complete with Lesson Plans for teachers, social media graphics, a coloring book, and with a Do’s and Do Not Factsheet, Native Now is providing resources to fuel a movement.
