Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma, Youth Outreach

The Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma is the relocated relatives of the Ponca Tribe of Nebraska. Located in Ponca City, Oklahoma, they have 3,581 enrolled tribal members. The Youth Outreach program is headed by Nellie Roughface, Youth Coordinator, and serves up to 500 Ponca youth during the summer time. Nellie will be working to identify the youth to participate in the Meaning of Home Youth Media Curriculum. As yet, a media fellow to assist with Ponca Tribe of Oklahoma has not been identified, but the Youth Coordinator has made a recommendation, and NET has a large pool of professional media-makers in the state of Oklahoma it can draw from.
