For over 20 years, Native Like Water (NLW) has reconnected tribal youth in Southern California and beyond with their ancestral coastal heritage. NLW improves the physical, emotional, and spiritual health of indigenous youth through water recreation, marine science education, and habitat restoration. By engaging youth in these activities, NLW promotes health and counters climate change impacts.
Utu proudly supports NLW, including their annual summer InterTribal Youth Program, which provides high and middle school youth with a holistic, indigenous education. This program blends wellness, culture, leadership, and academic enrichment into a transformative ocean and beach experience.
