+title: "Readout of the 2024 White\_House Tribal Youth\_Forum"
+---
+
+On November 15, 2024, the Biden-Harris Administration held the Fourth
+Annual White House Tribal Youth Forum.  At the Forum, over 100 Native
+American youth from across the country engaged with Administration
+officials on key issues impacting their communities, including food
+sovereignty, climate change, mental health, and missing and murdered
+Indigenous persons. Discussions touched on themes youth leadership,
+preservation of culture, and destigmatizing mental illness. Youth were
+also given a presentation from the White House Internship Program to
+learn about opportunities available to them within the White House
+Office.
+
+The Biden-Harris Administration remains committed to strengthening the
+relationship between the Federal Government and Tribal Nations to
+advance opportunity for Indigenous people, which includes empowering the
+future leaders of Indian Country. For the past four years the White
+House Tribal Youth Forum has provided a unique opportunity for Tribal
+youth to share their ideas and provide input on policy decisions that
+impact their communities and future generations.
+
+Tribal youth participants heard directly from Department of the Interior
+Secretary Deb Haaland, U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom
+Vilsack, Department of Health and Human Services Deputy Secretary Andrea
+Palm, White House Council on Environmental Quality Chair Brenda Mallory,
+White House Internship Program Associate Director Jasmin Chavez-Cruz,
+Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Deputy
+Assistant Secretary Sonia Chessen, Administration for Native Americans
+Deputy Commissioner Hope MacDonald Lone Tree, and Assistant Secretary
+for Indian Affairs Bryan Newland.  In addition, the Forum included
+senior White House officials and senior Administration officials from
+the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of the Interior,
+Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, the
+National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Federal Emergency
+Management Agency, the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and
+the White House Domestic Policy Council.
