Earlier this week, former US Senator Byron Dorgan and the Aspen Institute celebrated the one year anniversary of the Center for Native American Youth. The March 6 reception, held in conjunction with the National Congress of American Indians’ conference, was attended by more than 200 tribal leaders, Indian advocates, members of Congress, and the Administration.
Center for Native American Youth will host a small resource roundtable discussion with federal agencies doing work related to Native youth. During the meeting, participants will give a brief presentation on their work with or related to Native American youth, followed by roundtable discussion and Q&A with Indian organizations.
We recently sat down with Senator Dorgan to talk about the establishment of the Center for Native American Youth, his new policy program at the Institute.
