YOUTH LEADERSHIP

In response to requests from American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth, Western States Center partnered with the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians, the Center for Native American Youth, and the Native Youth Leadership Alliance to develop a resource toolkit for and with young Native leaders.
​
Indigenizing Love is written to support Native youth, tribal communities, Two-Spirit and Native LGBTQIA+ collectives, community leaders, and partners who intend to better understand and support our Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ communities.







VISION & MISSION

We will honor & celebrate our LGBTQIA+ relatives & reaffirm the sacredness of their identities.
There are countless socio-economic & educational disparities that impact our community. Diné Pride will reintroduce traditional knowledge & teachings that kept our LGBTQIA+ relatives safe & revered - the way our culture recognized at one point in history.


PRIDE LEADERSHIP
Alray Nelson
Executive Director & Co-Founder
Long before the forced removal of our children to Indian boarding schools, to the Stonewall riots, the Civil Rights movement for equal rights, and our fight to recognize marriage equality on the Navajo Nation - we are reclaiming our right to exist.
​
We must remember that it was our sovereign Tribal Nations that once recognized & protected our existence as LGBTQ+ people since time immemorial.
​
Our goal is to protect our relatives from HATE. ​We are unapologetic, fierce, & resilient LGBTQ+ warriors. ​We are organized & will hold all leaders accountable. ​
