Costanoan Rumsen Youth Council:

The Costanoan Rumsen Ohlone Youth Council meets on the same day as Tribal Council and addresses issues that concern youth in the Tribe and youth involvement in Tribal activities and presents it findings to the larger Tribal Council.  Tribal youth are active participants in all cultural activities of the tribe, they attend the annual bear ceremony, organize a fundraising booth at the Annual Big Time Gathering, and participate weekly in the Rumsen Language Classes and Drum Circle.  The Tribe's youth represent the future of the Costanoan Rumsen Ohlone so the youth council is an important way hear ideas that youth have for tribal activities and to draw more youth into taking an active role in Tribal governance.
