American Tribes Project
The Vision
ATP will provide an expressive arts opportunity for Northern Cheyenne and all Indigenous Youth, instilling empowerment as integral to their success.
Research demonstrates that artistic activities for developing minds has strong transformative implications. Artistic activities also instill discipline, fosters self-esteem, and nurtures new methods in mental problem solving processes.
The Mission
ATP will provide our future leaders with adult mentors who posses relevant training and experience, ensuring for the strengthening of mind, spirit and skills.
We build upon both traditional and contemporary arts to include: painting, sculpting, beading, drum making, music, literary expression and various dances. ATP will utilize expertise of People from all Nations in the creation of a brighter future through artistic expression.
We look forward to your participation in this process of opening the door to enhanced lives through cultural expression and preservation.
