Cascade Students Honored as Local Artists

During the spring and summer these seven students: Angelita, Guadalupe, Jocelyn,
Martina, Taylor, Rosa and Vanessa, participated in a Native youth community-based project entitled PICTURE THIS: NATIVE YOUTH LOOK AT THEIR ENVIRONMENT.
The project explores conceptions of place, community and environment from a Native perspective.
