Wichita and Affiliated Tribes-Native Connections

02/19/2026

I am always so grateful for Kiowa Tribal Princess Tegan for representing her tribe and her people so beautifully within our school systems and alongside the Native Connections program within the school. 🫶🏽✨

She spoke in front of her peers at Apache High School, and the students absolutely LOVED her regalia, her story, her purpose, and her powerful message about being a Princess while prioritizing mental wellness. She carries herself with such strength, culture, and heart. 🤎

A special thank you to her parents, Leah Lucero Gouge, for raising such a beautiful and inspiring young woman. She is truly doing an amazing job walking in her purpose and fulfilling her role as Princess. ✨🫶🏽

We want to thank all of the youth and young adults who came out to our Sweethearts Strong Minds event last night. It was truly an amazing evening.
A heartfelt thank you to all of the programs and partners who helped make this event a success. The important education and messages shared about healthy relationships and personal safety will have a lasting impact on our youth and young adults, promoting prevention, awareness, and self-love.
We are greatly for each and every one of you who made this event meaningful and impactful.
