Returning to Balance: Indigenous Youth, Arts and Balance

This Native American Heritage Month, we are honoring Indigenous knowledge, art, creativity, and the generations of wisdom that continue to guide pathways toward health and healing.

On November 12, the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health will bring Indigenous artists together in Washington, D.C to share their voices through music, theater, dance, and storytelling.

Wambli “Baby Wam” Dolezal (Ho-Chuck and Dakota)
Destroykasmin (Diné)
Michael Begay (Diné)

Through their art, these young leaders share their stories of truth, grief, resilience, hope, and healing. They remind us that Indigenous art is not simply a form of creative expression- it can be a way of connecting generations, strengthening community, sharing knowledge, and imagining healthy futures.

This gathering offers a powerful reminder: Indigenous youth are not simply participants in conversations about health and healing- they are shaping them.
