Transformation To Young Warrior
Welcome to Transformation To Young Warrior, which is the second phase of Cuystwi. We expand on the previous modules from Phase 1 and we introduce new topics that teach youth about healthy relationships, sexual health, sexuality, self-regulating and controlling our emotions.
Target Group:
Indigenous youth ages 13 - 15.
Traditional Learning Style:
Cuystwi replicates the traditional teaching relationship between Elder and youth. Stl'atl'imx Elder, Gerry Oleman returns as himself, and Nuu-chah-nulth Elder, Louise White, shares her wisdom and teachings.
