Montana’s Champion for Change – "Highlighting the work these kids do is an inspiration to all of us."

Vance Home Gun of Arlee honored in Washington D.C. for his efforts to preserve the Montana Salish language

Last November, the Center for Native American Youth in Washington D.C. launched a new initiative called Champions for Change to promote hope and leadership among young tribal members in Indian Country.

The organization gathered inspirational stories from across the U.S. with the goal of shining a light on five Native American leaders.

The search led to the Flathead Indian Reservation and 19-year-old Vance Home Gun, a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
