Tupero sat at the tribal youth council table with a sign-up sheet for those interested in joining. Tupero coaches girls' volleyball and has three kids in the high school - many students recognized her, their faces lighting up as they approached the table. Tupero told them about the opportunities they would have on the youth council — traveling to conferences, hosting cultural events, and meeting with the tribe's business council to make their voices heard - and, before signing their papers, had them answer a question from Native News Online, "What do you love about your community?" Some were shy and spoke softly; others laughed. One by one, they answered: "My culture." "Singing and dancing." "Good food." "Coastal jams." "Being surrounded by water." "Togetherness." "Canoe pulling." "Family." "You are never alone." This is part two of a two-part series that Native News Online Elyse Wild reported while participating in the USC Annenberg Center for Health Journalism's 2025 National Fellowship. Read part one here.

Native News Online reporter Elyse Wild did on ground reporting about an extremely difficult topic. It says so much that the series concludes with so much community hope.
