Thank you for sharing this information. It’s critical to get this out there to bring more awareness and action to the racial and gender inequities experienced by indigenous women. I wish I could say I haven’t had this experience but it wouldn’t be true. If these disparities are going to be changed, we need to: 1) Acknowledge this issue exists. By understanding the disparities and biases faced by indigenous women, we can work toward meaningful change. 2) Change policies by investing in those that empower all women and promote equality. Affordable childcare and parental leave are two areas that can make a huge impact. 3) Promote role models because Representation Matters. More role models and mentors inspire others.
