Welcome to the Season of New Beginnings. We're happy you are here.
Building Respectful Interactions to
Develop Goals for Elders and Youth
A New Season of Service
Our mission is to encourage and initiate the intertribal, intergenerational cultural exchange between Elders and Youth to share language, customs, traditions and beliefs.
Native BRIDGE focuses on building the bridge from the nontraditional practices of addiction, abuse, and poverty to balanced, whole people by applying traditional and contemporary resources to empower our Elders, Youth, Families and others within our Urban communities.
Tlingit Elder Helen Watkins takes us through every stage of processing the devil's club plant from making beads, medicinal powder and infused salve and oil. She also shares the spiritual significance of this powerful plant.
