'Auntie I made a new belt': Menominee nonprofit creates a path for young Native boys
Reported byICT News ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Woodland Heart, a Menominee nonprofit based in Neopit, Wisconsin, has spent several months working with 12 teenagers ages 11-14, teaching them to create traditional woodland regalia and connecting them with their culture through powwow participation and dance. The organization, founded in December 2024, partners with the Menominee school district and Menominee Tribe to serve youth who are disengaged from school activities.
The program is currently a pilot focused on boys ages 11-14; expansion to other age groups or demographics has not been announced.
