Native Career Profiles
How do we create a life worth living?
What does it mean to live...and work...in balance?
How do we walk this life in a good way?
How do we honor, revive, and maintain values and culture amid the pressure of modernity...
and find healthy, meaningful ways to sustain ourselves, our families, and our peoples? What is possible?
This humble project emerged out of these questions and offers a glimpse into the stories and journeys of others in hopes that we can learn from each other and that the sharing and the weaving will help us way-find, help our youth make good decisions, and help strengthen us all including our families, our communities, and our future generations.
Community Learning Network is honored to hold the space for this project as it evolves and to make room for what is possible when "real-life learning in real-life places with real-life people" is supported, encouraged, and even celebrated and stories are shared across generations. Native Career Profiles and Indigenous Voices offers an informal gathering of videos, stories, and insights which will grow slowly over time. We hope you come back to see what's new and share in the stories as they unfold...
