PhotoVoice Project
There is an old saying that, "A picture is worth a thousand words." The simplest description of PhotoVoice is a visual depiction of the community, by the community.
Photos from the 2021 Native Connections PhotoVoice project are featured on this website. Photographers are Nez Perce youth, young adults and parents / caregivers of youth and young adults.
This first group of photos were taken in response to the question, "What does self-love mean to you?"
Native Connections
Nimiipuu Resilience
The overall goal is to promote behavioral health, wellness and self-care among Native American youth and young adults on or near the Nez Perce Reservation. Native Connections activities are planned and implemented by a native youth advisory board - NAHOVA (Native American Hear Our Voices Arise).
