Boys and Girls Club students spend time with Elder Napos at UWGB’s First Nations Center

The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Green Bay spent time in UW-Green Bay’s First Nations Center recently, interviewing Napos, one of the Center’s Oral Scholars in Residence. The students are making a documentary on sovereignty and the Dakota Access Pipeline. The Green Bay club was one of three in the nation chosen to receive a multi-year research grant through the Wallace Foundation to develop the Youth Arts Initiative (YAI) which provides innovative, high-quality arts programming to local youth. The program is meant to stimulate learning, inspire creativity and encourage self-expression.
