Duck Valley, Shoshone – Paiute Reservation
"Even though the writing process was really painful for me, I guess I wanna say thank you because after hearing my words said out loud it was worth it." McKenna Thorpe - Shoshone Paiute member, young playwright/mentor, BSU Student
Mentor Artists -MAPP has conducted six years of programming with the residents of the Duck Valley Shoshone-Pauite Reservation, a community in a remote region straddling Idaho and Nevada. The program has been funded by the Shoshone Paiute Tribe, the Owyhee School District, and The Kessler Keener Foundation. Unlike any of our previous programs, we have had the opportunity to work hand in hand with all students K-12 at the Owyhee school, many of whom also participate in the Trio Upward Bound Summer Program in Boise, Idaho. If you would like to contribute directly to the programs in Duck Valley, please do so below or spread the word by sharing the link to this page.
