 Earlier this week we told you about the Red Lake Elders Conference. Well today, Red Lake switched gears to focus on their teens with their 13th annual Youth Leadership Conference. The conference is open to anyone in Red Lake who is 14 and up. The three-day event focuses on empowering and educating. This year the theme is healing through culture. That means all the events will be focused on wellness with a Red Lake twist like Powwow Zumba, Moccasin making and hand drum making. The conference started with a ribbon skirt fashion show. The ideas that we got this year are from our youth. I didn't get these ideas just on my own. Our youth actually came up with these ideas and said, let's do this. So everything that's on our agenda is from our youth, from Red Lake. This year the Youth Conference will feature more than 10 speakers from all over the country.
