Mentoring Young Native Professionals

Being a young professional in today’s workplace isn’t easy. Being a young Native professional can be even harder, and that’s why mentorship so important for people in the early stages of their careers. Here are a few ways mentors can be effective guides.

 

Embrace Their Native Heritage

As a mentor, it’s your responsibility to get to know your mentee. Learn about their goals, career aspirations, and other defining characteristics, including education and outside interests. Also, take the time to understand how your Native mentee’s culture and heritage have influenced their professional goals and career path.

Dr. Roger Dubea, Mohawk, Turtle Clan, and Abenaki

Dr. Roger Dube, Mohawk, Turtle Clan, and Abenaki, is a Sequoyah Fellow, emeritus professor of physics, and J. William Fulbright Scholar. He received the 2019 Ely S. Parker Award, the highest AISES honor.

 

Why is it important for young Native professionals to have a mentor?

Since our numbers are so small, it is especially important that we provide strong and steady support to young Native professionals. Throughout any professional’s career, there will be bumps and awkward events that can be discouraging. This is true for Native professionals as well. When those bumps occur, it’s natural to feel isolated and perhaps even at fault. At those times they need to have someone to call for advice so they don’t get discouraged — there’s nothing wrong with reaching out to a mentor for ideas or even as someone to listen.
