Mother Nature Scavenger Hunt! 🌎💚

We are so excited to have a special challenge leading up to our April Culture Night. We know that for Tribal Nations every day is Earth Day, but since it is celebrated on April 21st for everyone else, we wanted to encourage our NYW community to lean in extra this month!

Please take a screenshot of this bingo card or download and print it out. We invite you to head outside and try to find all of the things, scavenger hunt style! And no, finding spiderwebs, fruit, or water inside your house doesn’t count! 🤣 You have to get outside! ☁️☀️

Bring your bingo card or show us a photo of your completed scavenger hunt at Culture Night on April 28! Every bingo will get a raffle ticket for a special prize! 🌷🩵

April Culture Night: Mother Nature Bingo Night @ LCC Longhouse

You ask, we listen! After the First Food’s Feast (coming May 21), Bingo Night is our second highest rated event for culture nights, according to you on the last three end-of-year surveys.

Since we already do a bingo night in summer and winter, we decided doing a special spring bingo night in April would be fun. Special because all of the prizes require us to get outside and spend time with Mama Nature! 💚🌷🌎

Spring is here! 🌱 A season of renewal: new growth, new blooms, new possibilities.

With Native Youth Wellness, we believe that healing happens in relationship to land, to culture, to each other.

Culture is medicine. And we are growing, even when it’s quiet or feels hard. 🪶✨ Pisa Spring Equinox! 💐💖
