The Native Youth Sexual Health Network is an organization that centers sexual and reproductive health issues. It is an organization that provides resources, advocacy, and information about sexual and reproductive rights and justice by and for Indigenous youth.

“The Indigenous Youth Affirmation Deck was designed by and for Indigenous youth to celebrate sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice! This affirmation deck is full of cards that hold supportive, affirming, and positive statements to encourage self-reflection and peer support. Each card features a kind statement to help you feel seen and valued. Indigenous youth are hustling on our ancestral lands and guesting on each other’s territories making shit happen against all odds. Add these to your bundle, share with your relatives, or gift to the rad Indigenous youth in your life!
