  • Storytelling and Community Upliftment

    STORYTELLING & COMMUNICATIONS NATIVE WOMEN LEAD UPLIFTS OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH STORYTELLING BY SHARING THE HISTORY, LIVED EXPERIENCES AND TRUTHS OF OUR PEOPLE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO SHARE THE IMPACT OF THE WORK WE ARE DOING WITH AND IN OUR COMMUNITIES. WE DO THIS THROUGH A GENDER LENS FOCUS BY DEMONSTRATING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MANY ROLES THAT NATIVE WOMEN HOLD AS THE CARETAKERS, BREADWINNERS, ENTREPRENEURS AND LEADERS OF OUR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. IN OUR EFFORTS TO ADVOCATE AND CONTINUE TO FUNDRAISE FOR OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR WORK, WE ARE TELLING OUR OWN STORIES AND RECLAIMING OUR NARRATIVE BY FOCUSING ON THE BENEFITS OF NOT ONLY SUPPORTING NATIVE WOMEN BUT THE RIPPLING BENEFITS TO THEIR FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES THEY ARE FROM.
