In this highlight reel, Krista Chico shares an important truth about Indigenous Civic Leadership (ICL): this program is not just about internships. It is being built with real intention — as a fully immersive experience designed to help young Indigenous leaders grow in confidence, deepen their understanding of community, and strengthen the values they bring into leadership.

ICL is about more than placement. It is about purpose, preparation, and creating meaningful opportunities for participants to learn how leadership can be practiced in ways that are grounded, relational, and accountable to our people. That intentionality is what gives this program the potential to make a lasting impact — not only on each participant, but on the communities they will go on to serve.

In this highlight reel, Deanna Aquiar reflects on a mural and the powerful reminder that we are our ancestors’ wildest dreams.

It’s a message that grounds us in both gratitude and responsibility — honoring those who came before us by continuing to build, lead, and create opportunities for the generations to come.

Deanna’s reflection speaks to the strength, vision, and resilience carried through our communities, and to the importance of remembering that our work today is part of a much larger story.

May we continue to move with purpose, honor our ancestors, and help create an even stronger future for those who come after us.
