  A literature review was conducted using the key words relating to Native American Youth and 4-H to assess the current state of 4-H youth programming serving First Nation/ Indigenous populations to inform future Extension initiatives. A systematic and qualitative review determined what level of focus the conducted programming efforts placed on broadly accepted elements of cultural identity as noted in the Peoplehood Model. A very small number of articles (N=13) were found pertaining to 4-H and Indigenous Communities. Fewer demonstrated emphasis on the peoplehood elements of language, place, traditional ceremony or calendars, and history. This work investigates a continuing inequity in 4-H PYD–both in service and reporting–and suggests some next steps for creating a more inclusive 4-H program for Native American/First Nation/Indigenous youth.

  Extension work is multi-faceted, and often demands that professionals take on a ‘Jack of all trades’ approach.  Providing service to distinct and diverse communities inevitably results in a variety needs, challenges, and successes that are often singular to that particular community or group.  Despite this profound heterogeneity in context, the philosophical motivations and pathways towards program and academic success have many commonalities transcendent of location and participant.  Here we synthesize two ideas – Focused Excellence and, what we have termed, the Program Area Framework.  These concepts, when applied, can guide professionals through the Extension duality of specialization and generalization, and towards enhanced community and career outcomes.
