Walk the Walk Tribal Retreat
Held on Friday May 10th to Sunday May 12th at the secluded and beautiful Whispering Pines Center in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, the Walk the Walk Tribal Retreat expects to host 55 young adults, space is limited for this gathering.

One of the barriers to Tribe’s moving forward and effectively protecting and maintaining the well-being of Tribes against outside interests are conflicts within the Tribe, its government, its communities and families.
Some of the most common ways these conflicts appear are as the impacts of:

•Alcohol & Drug Use/Abuse
•Verbal Abuse
•Suicide
Bullying

Tribes have many ways of attempting to overcome these harms, and from a tribal operations point of view these can include the work of:

•Tribal Health
•Tribal Police
•Tribal Education
•Tribal Natural Resource
•Tribal Education
Listening to strengthen the work of Tribal governments to help tribal people .
The Walk the Walk Prep2Rep Retreat will provide a place and a way for participants to share, listen, envision, build leadership skills and begin to practice unique strategies to help tribal communities:

•Tribal professionals from Health, Police, Education and Natural Resources to share outreach and education to the next generation of young tribal leaders.

•Young tribal adults (18 – 27) to share questions, ideas, and visions with Tribal professionals.
