- Native Women Making Change | Youth in Action
- Description
- What roles do Indigenous women uphold in society today that serve both their communities and our society at large? Traditionally, Native women have held significant influence in the social, spiritual, and political lives of Indigenous societies. Though their roles and responsibilities have changed since colonization, they continue to be some of the most influential leaders in tribal governance. Today we also see Native women serving in state legislatures, the US Congress, and in global leadership roles that work to increase representation and amplify Indigenous voices and causes. Join us in a conversation with two young Native women who are currently working at local and state levels to make change: Aidan Graybill (Wyandot), who serves on the executive council of the Wyandot Nation of Kansas, and Christina Haswood (Diné [Navajo]), one of the youngest members in the Kansas State Legislature. Youth in Action: Conversations about Our Future is an online series hosted by the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian. These moderated panel discussions serve as a national platform to amplify the efforts of Native changemakers from across the Western Hemisphere who are engaged in civic and social justice work for Indigenous peoples. This webinar originally aired on March 18, 2021. 📅 VIEW THE UPCOMING YOUTH IN ACTION PROGRAM SCHEDULE: https://americanindian.si.edu/nk360/student-programs/distance-learning The National Museum of the American Indian’s distance learning programs explore the rich, complex, and dynamic histories and cultures of Indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere.
