The Native Teen Guide in Training (NTGIT) is a program of the Canyonlands Field Institute based out of Moab, Utah. An immersive river trip experience for Native youth between ages 13 and 17, the NTGIT is more than a youth summer camp. It is a unique opportunity for Native youth to connect and/or reconnect to a landscape that many Indigenous nations call home. It’s about identity and (re)learning the history and rights as Indigenous people. It's about the importance of Indigenous representation as well the importance of water, land, culture, language, food, and family. It's also about making new friends, learning to row a boat, and finding your voice, as a leader. Tune in to learn more about the NTGIT and Colleen's experience as an educator, mentor, guide, and supporter of NTGIT since 2021.
