ReVisioning Your Life Growing Strong Families; Honoring Diversity The teen years can be difficult for everyone - for teens, for parents, for teachers and communities.

Teens are struggling to discover their identities. This is especially tough when race and sexuality enter the picture. For bi-racial teens, those in mixed-race blended families, or wrestling with sexual identity the time can be even more painful. When you can't ask yourself those questions, it's even harder to talk about them with your family. If things right now seem unmanageable, I'd like to hel

p. I stand with individuals and families through life's difficult times. Together we will address your worries and your teen's feelings & behavior with the goal of growing a stronger family that celebrates each member's uniqueness.

Elsie Vance Chestuen was born in 1873, her Indian name was Chestuen. Her mother was Dilth-cley-ih, daughter of the Apache Chief Bidu-ya, Beduiat known as Victorio. Elsie's father is unknown, her mother married Mangus who was the son of Mangas Coloradas, Chief of the Chiricahua Apaches.Elsie was sent to the Carlisle Indian Industrial School on 4th November 1886 when she was 13 years old,she was enrolled as Elsie Vanci. Carlisle and other schools like this have been a contentious issue with the Native Americans, many say that children were forced to leave their families at very young age. They were forced to change their Indian names and give up their cultures, languages, and religion.
Elsie was only at Carlisle school for 3 years.On the 30th of May 1889, when she was 16 years old, she was sent to Alabama due to illness, she stayed with another Indian lady called Mollie. Elsie must have moved back to her home at some stage, as she died at Fort Sill on April 15th 1898, from tuberculosis. She was 26 years old, Elsie Vance Chestuen, is buried at the Beef Creek Apache Cemetery in Oklahoma
