Indigenous peoples all around the country face common stereotypes. Bridging understanding and creating relationships between Native and non-Native youth helps dismantle those stereotypes and counter prejudice.

Faith fosters cross-cultural understanding between Native and non-Native youth using positive self-identity development, accurate and current educational materials, and cultural exchanges that help students understand one another through experiential learning. She and her sons created a summer community service trip that brought high school students from the Washington, D.C. area to her home community of Round Rock, Arizona, and other tribal communities in the Southwest. That service-learning trip transformed the Navajo Nation, Pueblo villages, and urban Indian communities into classrooms that create allies for Indian Country.

In schools, Faith works to change the standards of American Indian education. She promotes all-encompassing Indian education that spans civil rights, history, art, and literature. She fills the gaps in our education system with the history that students should be learning in the classroom. This instruction complements in-the-field learning that comes from coordinated community exchange.
