Teri Vent is a Tribal member of Huslia and is tribally licensed through Huslia
Tribe as well. Teri has held a Tribal license since 2018, always cooperating with TCC Tribal Licensing to ensure her home remains compliant.
Teri is an amazing mother, she is devoted to caring for her 2 teenage children and her foster child. Above being a mother and a resource parent, Teri also works full-time for her community. Her work and time spent at the office carries a lot of responsibilities but with her partner helping her, they are doing a great job raising the children in their home.
Teri is kind and shows respect for others, one of the people whom nominated her described Teri as humble. Often our natural helpers in our community go unseen and unnoticed. And tonight we want to make sure she knows that we see what she gives to her community and her family and we are proud to recognized her for her love and commitment to family and community.
Teri lives a sober lifestyle on behalf of the children in her home and herself, leading by example and fostering a healthy environment for both her children and her foster child. Teri and her partner provide a safe and stable home; they prioritize teaching the children to live a subsistence lifestyle and practice the different cultural traditions.
As a foster mom, Teri has given this child all the love, protection, and devotion that any mother would give her own. Their Foster son is now a thriving young toddler that is mischief as can be.
She goes above and beyond for his needs. Her family has grown to love their foster child so much and it shows in her daily life, her sacrifices, the way he is raised right alongside her daughters-he is truly a part of their family. Being a foster parent is one of the most challenging roles to fullfill and Teri makes it look easy. Tonight we would like to recognize you as TCC’s 2023 Tribal Foster Parent of the Year
