Half of the members in the group live on the reservation, including elders and the current tribal chairman. But kinship and sharing are the themes everyone in the group holds dear and social media became a way to bridging the gap of across the\u00a0 distances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSocial media is an affordable platform for staying in touch,\u201d says Silas. \u201cYou can actually engage with members in a two-way communication and you can also get a sense of what the life experience of your members are so that you can design programs and service that meet their needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_76155\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76155\" style=\"width: 474px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76155 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/news.medill.northwestern.edu\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Screenshot-1024x636.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"474\" height=\"294\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Screenshot-1024x636.png 1024w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Screenshot-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Screenshot-768x477.png 768w, https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/medill.wordpress.offload\/WP%20Media%20Folder%20-%20medill-reports-chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/02\/Screenshot.png 1374w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-76155\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The home page for the Menominee Community Center of Chicago (Image courtesy of Pamala Silas)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The latest event held by the Menominee Community Center of Chicago was a Christmas potluck party which over 60 members attended. The center got RSVPs soon after posting it on the Facebook page.\u00a0 Participants exchanged gifts and shared their personal news with others. Total cost of the night was only about $150, a small fortune for the center but a great gathering, according to Silas.<\/p>\n<p>Founded in 1994, the community center is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.innovations.harvard.edu\/menominee-community-center-chicago\">only recognized off-reservation community entity<\/a> in the Menominee nation.

A lot of them lost not only actual connections with families and friends on the reservation but also the cultural bonds with their tribes during the period.\u00a0 Many urban Indians knew about their own tribes only through local native cultural centers and events, with few visits to their homeland.<\/p>\n<p>Social media changed all that, Blacker says. \u201cNow because online connections are stronger, it\u2019s not just the three visits a year [to the reservation]. We can communicate online almost instantly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Social media also allows tribes to serve\u00a0 members outside of the reservation. Lots of tribal news and organizations have their own Facebook pages and are active on platforms such as Twitter and Instagram. For those who grew up and live in the cities, social media keeps them informed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI joined the Menominee tribal school&#8217;s Facebook page to learn about what&#8217;s going on at the school,\u201d says Jasmine Gurneau, a member of the Oneida tribe and a mother of two living in Avondale . Silas, her mother, is of Oneida as well as Menominee descent. \u201cSometimes the school does fun activities with the kids like maple tree tapping or wild rice harvesting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even though Gurneau gets newspaper delivery from the Oneida, she still finds Facebook a useful platform to keep up with events and causes relevant to her native people. She followed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/video\/national\/native-american-elder-nathan-phillips-teen-nick-sandmann-give-versions-of-encounter\/2019\/01\/21\/f349ebf6-2574-43d3-a7b5-0e626ba05a0d_video.html?utm_term=.99b0f65acce5\">conflict\u00a0 between Native American Nathan Philips and\u00a0Covington Catholic students<\/a> and reactions within Native communities. A few weeks ago, she took her daughter to a puppet festival show about an Ojibwe intertribal story she found through Facebook. Gurneau&#8217;s husband is Ojibwe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy daughter learned about her values and there is some language embedded in there and the story was about using your values and the songs that you learn and your medicines,\u201d says Gurneau. \u201cShe was able to see her first play that teaches those values.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The latest communication technologies mean today\u2019s urban Indians are linked closer to their own cultures that cross hundreds and, often, thousands of years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She connects in relationships with people,\u201d says Silas when talking about how social media affects her daughter and grandchildren. \u201cShe knows more about her tribe now than she could 20 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"featurecaption\">Photo at top: Facebook pages increasingly connect urban Native Americans with their tribal governments and people on reservations that may be far away.
