The 2021 Nebraska Native Youth Gathering will take place in a virtual environment, which will allow youth from all regions of Nebraska to attend.

Designed to engage 9th-12th grade students, who identify as Nebraska American Indian youth, this annual gathering aims to enhance the individual and collective understanding of spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical well-being.

The annual Gathering provides Native youth an opportunity

  • to connect with their peers from across the state of Nebraska;

  • to gain traditional Native knowledge, skills, and practices;

  • to share personal experiences; and

  • to consider future career and college opportunities.
