Equity Talks: An Equity Advocate You Need to Know About
How much do you know about Indigenous communities in America? Did you know that over a quarter of Native students drop out of school? Public schools on tribal lands are severely underfunded and underserved, resulting in higher rates of performance gaps, suspensions, and drop-outs - all of which perpetuate a cycle of poverty that's difficult to climb outof. Winona LaDuke knows from experience that Indigenous peoples face steep inequities and, yet, she overcame to become a Harvard graduate. Join us to learn from Winona on how we can be advocates for the Native communityand how we can rebuild native narratives to create empathy, understanding, and activism.
