Youth will be assisting the committee with ideas regarding the beautification of the Meskwaki Settlement. This area-wide committee is seeking input from the youth regarding youth perspectives on community issues. One issue the youth council is working on is reducing the illegal desecration of culturally, historically and spiritually significant lands, areas and properties. In April, council members visited the campus of Iowa State University in Ames to hear Sherman Alexie speak. Chahta Alla Youth Council in Mississippi adopted a section of Tribal Land to create a nature trail for the community to enjoy.
Members are also very active in preserving their culture.
Under the guidance of Mr. Curtis Douglas, the school's Title IX Tutor, the club was able to participate in various community and state-wide activities. In November, some members visited the campus of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater to attend the second annual College Weekend. The purpose of the event was to allow the high school students a chance to experience college life and to gain an inside perspective into higher education. Tours of the various colleges offered at the university were offered and the prospective students were also treated to the OSU-Southwest Louisiana University football game. The council's Color Guard was formed this year and participated in the annual Sorghum Days Parade held in Wewoka.
