Youth Council

August 2021

Reel Mentors event provides learning and fun

Becci Sullivan

District 2 Council Rep

On Saturday, June 26th

District 2 collaborated

with the Reel Mentors

Program founders Ronald Suverkrubbe, Ponca

Tribal member and owner

of Critter U, and Rashad

Evans, Hall of Fame

mixed martial artist, to

provide a fishing event

for our district youth at

Standing Bear Lake off of

138th and Fort in Omaha, NE. Many of the Reel

mentor representatives

traveled from Florida to

attend the event and even

brought a few youth from

the FL area to experience

life in Omaha and fishing in Nebraska. Also in

attendance were many

of the Osni Ponka youth

council members to serve

as mentors for the day.

The group met in the

morning to provide fishing education for the

youth. They learned how

to tie different fishing

knots, how to cast, and

about fishing techniques.

The youth were able to

have casting contests and

see fish up close to better understand the sport.

Once the group was finished with donuts and the

education session, they

walked down to the pier

to show their new skills

with their mentors. After

fishing for a couple of

hours, the group reconnected at the pavilion for

a grill out and the kids

were able to play games

and hang out with their

mentors. In addition to

the fishing, learning, and

playing, the participants

had the opportunity to

engage with champions

Rashad Evans and Houston Alexander. Their stories provide meaningful

Ponca Tribe OFNebraska

examples for youth of the

power of goals, discipline,

effort, and the ability

to cope with stress and

pressure. Both gentlemen

are committed to “giving

back” and strengthening our communities and

empowering our youth.

According to Ponca

member Ronald Suverkrubbe, “the goals of the

Reel Mentors programs

are simple ... to teach kids

how to fish and provide

each child with a mentor

they can talk to about

education, life ... and of

The Reel Mentors collaboration made the day successful for our D2 Ponca

youth, with Scheels providing the fishing poles

for each youth to take

home. D2 Tribal Council

provided the food, tackle

boxes with goodies, and

the prizes for the youth

contests.

Youth Council

Youth Council attends Unity Conference MENTORS:

Collaboration

teaches

outdoor skills

Maci Schott

This July, the Osni

Ponka Youth Council

attended their very

first Unity Conference.

Chairwoman Maci

Schott traveled with

members Ben Schott,

Cami Schott, Sofia

Hegstrom, and Taya

Lehman to Dallas, Texas. They were chaperoned by the Osni

Ponka Youth Council advisor, Rebecca

Sullivan, and Ponca

member, Candy Schott.

At the conference our

Ponca Youth Council

members learned about

native pride, raising

awareness on important

topics that are affecting

our native youth, and

heard from numerous

guest speakers. Their

favorite guest speaker

was Lauren Schad. Lauren is 26 years old, and

she is a member of the

Cheyanne River Sioux

Tribe. Lauren is a professional volleyball player

for a team in France. She

shared her experience

about teaching others

about her culture, being

a minority, persevering through school, and

accomplishing goals as

a young native. She is a

Nike N7 Ambassador

and has a line coming

out early this month. Our

members loved hearing

sáton

continued from page 4

about her commitment

as a young Native athlete in school and raising

awareness on the MMIW

epidemic. Another highlight from the trip was

being exposed to various cultures and traditions in other tribes. The

Youth Council members

especially enjoyed learning about other regions

around the United States.

At this conference,

youth spoke from the

Great Plains, Midwest,

Northeast, Northwest,

Pacific, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southern Plains, Southwest,

and Western regions. It

was great for our Youth

Council members to hear

what different Youth

Councils are doing, their

perspectives, and about

life in their tribes. Our

Youth Council members

have even learned that

they can stay in touch

with everyone at Unity

through a new app called

“Unity Wellness Warrior”. Our members have

downloaded this app and

through it, they can learn

about culture, language,

traditional dishes, project planning, financial

fitness, and more. This

will allow our tribe’s

Youth Council to stay in

touch and communicate

with other youth leaders

around the United States.

Together, we hope to

continue to raise awareness on important issues

and inspire future leaders

to be anything they set

their minds to.

course, fishing.” The

group hopes to continue

to work with the Ponca

Tribe of NE to provide

more youth with a day

of fishing and fun. The

day’s events were in line

with the group’s motto,

Empowering youth success through mentor-led

learning experiences.

A special THANKS to

Ponca member, Ronald

Suverkrubbe and his

partner, Pam Perry, for

their continued commitment and for allowing

their non-profit, Reel

Mentors Youth Fishing

Program, to be a part

of our D2 Community.

“It was really great to

see our youth enjoying

themselves in nature,

fishing, laughing, talking, playing, and having

a wonderful time without
