If you saw the Antithesis Research staff at the Health and Housing Fairs or at one of our community meetings, then you have seen our idea boards with sticky notes on them. These are boards where community members were given sticky notes to jot down ideas about what they would like to see in their community. These ideas will be organized to look for themes. Some of the major themes that are appearing so far are: Sidewalks, Reservation Clean Up, Wellness Center/Pool/Gym, and a Recycling Program. The ideas will be matched up with the related elements of the plan for the community participants to consider. We have already received the following information from the community about what they would like to see included in the Sustainable Community Plan:
Introduction Meetings
Culture Center: Learn language, hunting, history, beading, stick game, etc.
Culture Building for people to go to like just to learn more stuff if they don't have elders to show them how to bead, sew, speak our language, etc.
Connect the Elders to youth and young adults.
The people are our most vital resource and this concept needs to be incorporated into AR in all aspects.
Better parking at Longhouse. Parking for busses.
Programs for the adults that nurture elders & children. Who's nurturing us!!!
Recreation Center with go-carts, arcade, music room (sound proofed), movie projector. A Recreation center is not a youth center. It's for everyone, not just a glorified daycare.

Improvements to community smokehouse: lights, woodshed, sink.
Wellness Center.

We are still taking ideas. If you see us around the community, let us know what ideas you have. Even if you see that your idea is already on the board, put your idea on another sticky note and put it on the board again because we will tally to see how many times an idea has been mentioned.
