Native Sons and Daughters Program
What exactly is
Native Sons and Daughters™?
“ Native Sons and Daughters™ are programs that were developed and are administered by National Longhouse, Ltd. These programs along with National Longhouse® are a fundamental part of Lighthouse, Inc.'s work with families, emphasizing the vital role that parents play in the growth and development of their children. The original program plan of sons learning directly from their father was patterned from the tradition of some North American Indian cultural groups. These programs seek to strengthen the foundations for a positive lifelong relationship between parent and child that is mutually beneficial and satisfying. “
