Project Red Talon Assistant/ Thomas Ghost Dog Jr. Project Red Talon Assistant/ We R Native Specialist We R Native is a multimedia, multi-channel health resource for Native youth, by Native youth. It is funded by the Indian Health Service HIV Program and by the Division of Behavioral Health.

A multi-media health resource about the topics that matter most to them.

Over 350 health articles, reviewed by AI/AN youth and topical experts. Over 204,000 page views! Across all media channels, the service reaches 31,000+ users per week. Feel free to pull it up and surf while I speak… Approximately half (42%) of our users access the website on a mobile device. The website includes content on social, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. It also provides general life advice on a wide variety of topics, from transitioning to college, to communicating with friends. We wrapped all of this medically accurate information into a fun, interactive package…driven by Native youth. We knew that if were going to successfully compete for their time and attention online, we’d have to create a positive, entertaining, interactive space – that really spoke to their everyday experiences and interests.

Join our Youth Ambassador team… Ambassador generate ideas for the website, review content before it is posted, promote We R Native at conferences and youth gatherings. The Youth Ambassador Application will open again March 28th!
