Theme: Living Proof. Native nations continue to make great strides in governance, economy, education and social welfare. We work daily to triumph over generations of destructive federal and state policies that sought to end our political, cultural and social existence. We are the living proof that our people did not just “survive,” we continue to “thrive.” The theme of this year’s For All My Relations Conference is “Living Proof”. We can all look to historical examples, heroic figures and personal anecdotes that speak to our resiliency and determination. Each one of us is “living proof” that the strength, pride, courage and cultural values of our communities continue to thrive.

Write an essay illustrating how you or a member of your family or community demonstrates the “Living Proof” theme in overcoming historic or contemporary challenges.

Rules: Entries will be judged anonymously. Each essay must be original work of the contestant. All essays may be published in whole or part by NIJC. Winning essays will be published.
