West Michigan Close Up

In addition to having students on the regular Close Up Washington program last week, we conducted two special programs in partnership with the United South and Eastern Tribes (USET) and the National Indian Education Association (NIEA). Both programs are designed to help Native American youth better understand the unique nature of dual citizenship and the complex relationships between tribal and federal governments. Check out the video featuring a student explaining the Community Action Project that she developed on the program.

Close Up Washington: Community Action Projects Native American students on our partnership programs with NIEA and USET create community action projects to raise awareness about issues in their community.
