Communities: A reflection of you

Real Native Roots: Untold stories present you, Joseph Kunkel, a citizen of the Northern Cheyenne Nation. Joseph takes us back to his reservation and shares what grounds him, critical skills he learned, and understanding the importance of community. Joseph defines communities, what makes up a community, and shares how communities need to heal. He emphasizes how communities are knowledge holders of their own environment. "Come with" is a motto that you will often hear him say as he passionately works in Indian Country, so "come with" us on this short journey.
