DESCRIPTION: Friends of the Children is hosting an online learning event in recognition of National Native American Heritage Month. This is a time to celebrate the diverse traditions, languages, stories, and achievements of Native American, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian peoples. In a conversation with Native advocate and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, Suzan Shown Harjo, we will reflect on some of the most pressing issues facing Indian Country, including Native rights, Tribal sovereignty, repatriation, and the harm of stereotypes, mascots, and cultural appropriation.
