Ohkay Owingeh

25 Ohkay Owingeh Tribal youth will increase their cultural exposure through (4) workshops of six sessions each in which Elders will be utilized to teach traditional regalia making classes that educate, challenge and inspire youth to form lasting linkages to our Native culture and to participate in our cultural ceremonies.

The project will create a new avenue for community youth, ages 6-17, to increase language fluency rate by reinforcing existing language immersion programs in area schools. The project will enhance their ability to retain the language and will utilize community Tewa instructors who have obtained their Native Language Teaching License.
