Indigenous Representation Matters
- This event has passed.
November 8, 2022 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
For too long, many major institutions have excluded Indigenous people. Exclusion is harmful: it fuels invisibility, perpetuates negative stereotypes, and limits Indigenous communities’ ability to thrive.
Indigenous people are working to build visibility and power across all sectors. They’re making their voices heard and pushing for Indigenous representation in leadership roles.
Celebrate Native American Heritage Month with us by joining us to hear from four Indigenous changemakers who are leaders in their fields. They’ll tell us about their experiences and provide insight into how all of us can advocate for Indigenous representation.
