520 |a Oklahoma's Cherokee Nation Youth Leadership Program (CNYLP) began in 1982 with the vision of drawing elements of the tribe together through an innovative youth program designed to instill self-confidence, positive regard for Cherokee identity, and a sense of community spirit through service to others. Patterned after the National Youth Leadership Council program, the Cherokee model provided training of selected high school youth in a challenging, multicultural camp setting, and created ways to "bring back" the motivation generated there and apply it to projects in home communities. Using the Janis-Field Self-Esteem Scale, scores were obtained before and after camp periods. While the 1982 and 1983 pre-camp scores of Cherokee youths were the lowest for all groups, the gains in mean post-camp scores exceeded that for all groups combined for each year. When participants return home, CNYLP attention focuses on home community projects, operated by staff and students. These have had an important impact on the various communities. In 1983, 65 seventh and eighth graders attended the first Cherokee junior high camp, led by the high school leaders, thereby giving them the opportunity to test their newly-acquired leadership skills. Results show that important characteristics for effective Indian leadership are being demonstrated through the behavior of program participants. (JMM)
