A major new exhibition in the heart of Washington celebrates the artistic achievements of native American women with more than 80 works of art.华盛顿市中心举办了一场大型新展览，展出了80多件艺术作品，以颂扬美国原住民女性的艺术成就。Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists is the first exhibit of its kind,Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists是该类型的首个展览，says Anya Montiel, curator of American and Native American Women's Art and Crafts at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum.史密森尼美国艺术博物馆伦威克美术馆的美洲及原住民女性艺术与工艺策展人安雅·蒙蒂尔表示。There have been other exhibitions in the past that have featured only native women artists, but those exhibitions tended to feature contemporary art.过去也曾有其他展览专门展示原住民女性艺术家的作品，但这些展览往往以当代艺术为主。So the curators of this show, they wanted to make sure that this exhibition is comprehensive in the timespan as well as including many different artistic mediums as possible.本次展览的策展人希望确保展览在时间跨度上全面涵盖，并尽可能包含多种不同的艺术媒介。Those mediums range from paintings, textiles and sculptures to baskets and even wearable art.这些媒介包括绘画、纺织品、雕塑、篮子，甚至还有可穿戴艺术。The exhibit explores three central themes: legacy, relationship and power.该展览探讨了三个核心主题：传承、关系和权力。Legacy is really talking about continuum. A lot of these artists have learned these traditions from their ancestors.传承实际上是在探讨延续性。许多艺术家从他们的祖先那里继承了这些传统。Adorned with teeth from hunted elk, it took many years to gather enough to decorate a single dress.这件衣服用猎获的麋鹿牙齿装饰，要花好多年才能收集到足够数量来点缀一件衣裳。So you have this dress that is put together by the women of the family, but with this beautiful decoration, that really shows the legacy of the entire family.你有一件由家族女性共同缝制的连衣裙，而且上面有精美的装饰 ，这真的展现了整个家族的传承。The theme of relationship represents the connection between humans and the earth.关系的主题象征着人类与地球之间的纽带。This one is called Wisdom of the Universe by Christi Belcourt. And it looks like beadwork, but it's actually all painting in acrylic.这幅作品名为《宇宙的智慧》，作者是克里斯蒂·贝尔科特。它看起来像珠绣作品，但实际上全是丙烯画。And upon closer inspection, the insects, the birds and the plants are actually endangered species, and so it's really presenting to us what are we gonna do about this.再仔细观察就会发现，这些昆虫、鸟类和植物实际上都是濒危物种，这真的向我们展示了我们该怎么做。The theme of power speaks to the authority of native women within their nations.权力的主题体现了原住民女性在其民族内部的权威。Especially for the Muscogee Creek, they are matrilineal nation. The women were the ones who made the decisions, especially about whether or not they were gonna go to war.尤其是穆斯科吉人，他们是母系社会。做决定的是女性，尤其是关于是否要发动战争的决定。Visitors to the exhibit had an emotional response. The last piece I was just looking at had a scar from a woman's shoulder to her hip, and the trauma of the culture that has been really traumatized by another was extremely impactful.参观展览的观众产生了情感共鸣。我刚才看的最后一件作品描绘了一个女人从肩膀到臀部的伤疤，而那种深受另一种文化创伤影响的文化所带来的冲击极其强烈。The one over there with the girl and the scar in the back that was really powerful. I don't know. It's just like, I almost wanted to cry when I saw it.那边有个女孩，后背有一道伤疤，真的给我很强烈的冲击。不知道为什么，我看到它的时候差点哭了。And that's the point of this exhibit, expose people to the variety of artwork created by native American women who may never have received the credit they deserve.这就是本次展览的意义所在，让大众有机会欣赏到那些可能从未获得应有认可的原住民女性艺术家所创作的丰富多样的艺术作品。This exhibition has so many testaments of these women saying that despite everything that's happened to native women, the cultures and the traditions are still so strong.这场展览中有许多来自这些女性的证言，她们表示尽管原住民女性遭遇了种种磨难，但文化与传统依然坚韧不衰。This touring exhibit remains in Washington until May. 该巡回展览将在华盛顿展出到五月。

Women make up half the population, but their rights have always been treated like a special request. In this episode we dive into the real history of women's rights in America: from forced sterilizations and credit card restrictions to the myth of the 19th Amendment being a universal win. We exposes how progress has always come with an asterisk and why women's rights are the ultimate test of any democracy.The Original Setup: Eve, the Apple, and the Birth of BlameVotes for Some: The Long Road to Women's SuffrageRights on Paper, Fights in Practice: A Tour Through Women's HistoryThe Mother of Gynecology - and the Daughters Who Paid the PriceSterilized and Silenced: When Reproductive Rights Were't Yours'Til Regret Do us Part: Marriage, Divorce and the Trap of ForeverMusic by Loghan LongoriaFollow us on instagram: Sergio Novoa My Limited View PodResources & ReferencesThe Bible & Eve• Augustine, On the Good of Marriage — Early church writings framing women as morally weaker.• Tertullian, On the Apparel of Women — One of the first texts blaming Eve for humanity's downfall.Women's Suffrage• National Archives: 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution• Library of Congress: Frederick Douglass's support at Seneca Falls, 1848.• Alexander Keyssar, The Right to Vote: The Contested History of Democracy in the United States.Voting Rights & Racial Exclusion• U.S. Department of Justice: Voting Rights Act of 1965• Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 (National Archives).• Mae Ngai, Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America.Workplace & Economic Rights• U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission: Equal Pay Act of 1963• U.S. Department of Labor: Civil Rights Act Title VII• U.S. Department of Education: Title IX Overview• Federal Reserve: History of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act• Congressional Research Service: Women's Business Ownership Act of 1988.Reproductive Rights• Supreme Court: Roe v.

In this special episode of Book Lounge by Libby, we're joined by celebrated Indigenous authors Angeline Boulley (Firekeeper's Daughter, Warrior Girl Unearthed) and Carole Lindstrom (We Are Water Protectors, Autumn Peltier, Water Warrior) for a powerful conversation on legacy, language, and literature. Together, we discuss what it means to write from and for their communities, the responsibility of storytelling, and how their work connects generations past, present, and future.  This episode is a celebration of Indigenous identity, survival, and the resilience of story — and an invitation to listen, learn, and uplift.  Plus, Bre and Cece stop by with a few incredible book recs from Indigenous voices you won't want to miss. 

Our final episode of the season is an encore presentation, in memoriam, of the first episode of the season-- Sally Roesch Wagner and the Suffragists-Native American connection.  Sally Roesch Wagner passed on June 11 at the age of 82.  She was an historian of women's history and the Women's Suffrage Movement, an author and an educator. She was the founding director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and Social Justice Dialogue Center which honored the accomplishments of pioneering suffragist, Matilda Joslyn Gage.*****In this episode: The Iroquois, alternatively referred to by the endonym Haudenosaunee, are a confederacy of Native Americans and First Nations peoples in northeast North America.  Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Matilda Joslyn Gage, and Lucretia Mott had formed friendships with Haudenosaunee women that enabled them to see the real possibility of creating a very different structure for their American culture, a matriarchal one, like the one that their Haudenosaunee sisters had experienced for generations. We talk to Sally Roesch Wagner about this amazing story and how she discovered this overlooked pieced of American feminist herstory.Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.

Editors Vickie Mays and Alfredo Morabia (AJPH) interview Trina Adler, Program Leader, Health & Nutrition Department of Family, Health & Wellbeing, U of MN Twin Cities, about her APHA 2024 presentation titled “Native American women practice mino-bimaadiziwin: The good life". What is the relevance for public health, all of us, of "Mino bimaadiziwin," the Ojibwe phrase that translates to "living the good life" or "walking the good path"?

Native Americans have a legacy of service to this country, which astounds me considering how this country has treated them. In fact, Native American women serve the US military in higher numbers than any other female demographic! So in this ep, we drop a list of names of women that are…what? Say it with me…badass!

As this episode was recorded on May 5 - National Missing or Murdered Indigenous Persons Awareness Day, this episode is dedicated to: Hanna Harris Hanna Harris was born on May 5, 1992, a citizen of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe. She was only 21 on July 4, 2013 when she left the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation to go into nearby Lame Deer, Montana, to watch the Independence Day fireworks. She never returned home. When her family reported her missing, local law enforcement downplayed her disappearance. Four days later, a volunteer search team found her body. It was determined that she was brutally raped and murdered. In some tribal communities, Native American Women face murder rates that are more than 10 times the national average; homicide is the 4th leading cause of death for Native women and girls between the ages of 1 and 19, and the 5th leading cause of death for ages 20 to 24. Almost half of all Native American women have experienced physical violence, and one of three will, at some point in their life, experience the violence and trauma of rape according to the Department of Justice. Help support Rising Hearts to bring awareness and fight against these injustices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Terry Yoffe can be reached at the following places: https://trycoaching.com/ Instagram: @TerryYoffe LinkedIn Facebook email: terry@trycoaching.com You can also listen ter her podcast, Extraordinary Work: Conversations about Creating Change on  Apple iHeartRadio Spotify   --------------------------------------------------------------- Kerri can be found on Instagram: @running_with_the_rockstar Facebook: Every Run Has a Story   You can find Paul - The Rhode Runner in the following places: Twitter: @TheRhodeRunner Instagram: @TheRhodeRunner Facebook   Inspiring Journeys can be found on: InspiringJourneys.net Instagram: @InspiringJourneysPod Facebook   You can also download and subscribe to the Inspiring Journeys Podcast at: Apple Podcasts iHeartRadio Spotify

A substantial number of Native Americans are affected by Arizona's efforts to solidify a strict ban on abortions. Even after Arizona elected leaders repealed the law affirmed by the state Supreme Court that criminalizes nearly all abortions, the state faces a new landscape with it comes to access to the procedure. Abortion access advocates are taking cues from other states with abortion restrictions on the books — a reality that affects at least 75 federally recognized tribes. We'll get rundown from multiple perspectives on the current trends and realities for abortion access for Native women. GUESTS Charon Asetoyer (Comanche), executive director of the Native American Community board, which is a parent organization to the Native American Women's Health Education Resource Center Rachael Lorenzo (Mescalero Apache and Laguna Pueblo), executive director of Indigenous Women Rising Wes Nofire (citizen of the Cherokee Nation), Native America liaison for the State of Oklahoma

And Another Thing With Dave, by Dave Smith #AATWD In this episode, part 2 of 6 in a 3 hour conversation with one of the founders of Anonymous. We cover a lot of ground. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS WITH SHORT KEY POINTS --------- (0:00:01) - Conspiracy Theories and v for Vendetta We discussed water shortage, gangster activity, Pizza Gate, Epstein, V for Vendetta, and the importance of true knowledge. (0:06:18) - Exploring Motivations and Divisions in Society Veefer Vendetta examines how information access has changed, current wedge issues, and freedom of choice in a free country. (0:16:15) - Controversial Opinions on History and Beliefs We examine the legacy of colonialism, access the dark web, discuss indentured servitude, and explore identity formation in Hispanic communities. (0:23:35) - Women in Native American Culture Perception Native American culture's respect for women, Jack the Ripper era views, and women's newfound strength are discussed. Get ready to bust your bubbles of ignorance as we dive into the deep and often murky waters of societal issues, conspiracy theories, and historical narratives. With a critical lens on the state of affairs in California, we question the water shortage crisis, the rise in gangster activity and why these matters seem to be on the back burner for most of us. The Pizza Gate and Epstein controversies are not left out of our fiery discourse, as we probe the deep-seated power dynamics that allow for such atrocities to occur in broad daylight. Ever wonder how the themes from V for Vendetta eerily parallel our current reality? Tune in as we unravel this intriguing topic, and so much more. We dissect the societal shifts in the U.S., focusing on California, discussing everything from the water crisis to the increasing gang activities. You'll also hear our take on controversial topics like Pizza Gate, the Epstein controversy, and the power dynamics intertwined in these cases. Our chat takes an audacious turn when we delve into the impact of colonialism on the identities and beliefs within Hispanic communities. Uncover the dangers of whitewashed historical narratives as we argue about the role of history in shaping identities. We'll also navigate the shadowy corners of the dark web and its societal implications, the bitter reality of indentured servitude, and the extent to which society chooses to overlook these issues. Finally, we unravel the portrayal of women in various cultures, drawing experiences from Native American women during early European settlement and women in the Jack the Ripper era. Brace yourselves as we embark on a thrilling journey of thought-provoking conversations. Thank you for tuning in!

In this episode of Work in Progress, I am joined by Dwana Franklin-Davis, CEO of Reboot Representation whose mission is to double the number of Black, Latina, and Native American (BLNA) women in the tech industry by the year 2025. I sat down with Franklin-Davis at the Aspen Latino Business Summit in Washington, D.C. in early September. Reboot Representation Tech Coalition was launched in 2018 by Pivotal Ventures, Melinda French Gates' incubation organization, which advocates for expanding opportunity and accelerating equity through high-impact investments and partnerships. It was a direct response to the small percentage of women of color graduating with computer degrees and working in the tech industry. "BLNA women in 2017 represented 4% of the graduating population, and that number was down by 33% from the previous decade and wasn't projected to double to 8% until the year 2052 without interventions," explains Franklin-Davis. Pivotal and McKinsey surveyed 32 corporations representing $500 billion in revenue and $500 million in philanthropic giving to determine what they were spending on women and girls in tech. "It turned out they were spending 5% of their philanthropic dollars on women and girls in tech, and less than 0.1% went intentionally to Black, Latina, and Native American women and girls in tech. So the magic number – I got my air quotes around magic – the magic number from that less than 0.1% way back in the day 2017 was $335,000. That's it," she says. Eleven founding companies joined with Pivotal to form Reboot Representation to increase representation and investment in BLNA women in tech. Today there are 23. In a new report, Reboot says their partners have helped increase the number women in the field, but there is a long way to go. "The number of computing degrees awarded to BLNA women nearly doubled between 2016 and 2021, but continued intentional investments will be required to sustain and propel these efforts," according to that report. Franklin-Davis tells me, "I am ecstatic to watch the numbers of BLNA women graduating with computing degrees. We've almost reached our doubling goal. We're almost there. So, that is definitely something to celebrate. But also, I don't want to give the pat on the back to say we're done because although we're watching the actual numbers increase – which is beautiful and amazing – the percentages are only slightly nudging up, which is not good enough." Even with that progress in the graduation rates, the industry representation is heading in the opposite direction. "The numbers of BLNA women in the industry are going down at the very moment that graduation rates are going up. So, we have a graph that looks like a very visible X and that is alarming. That's what keeps us up at night, which is why we produced this second report because we want to make sure that corporations have the tools they need in order to make the minor adjustments to work smarter and not harder and be able to effectively recruit, retain, and advance a diverse workforce." The new report offers up nine suggestions to guide companies seeking to encourage and retain that more diverse workforce, including adding more BLNA women. Franklin-Davis and I discuss those suggestions. Find out more in the podcast, which you can listen to here, or download and listen wherever you get your podcasts.

The Lenape people are the original inhabitants of a region that stretched from southern New York State through New York City to the state of Delaware. (They are also known as "The Delaware Nation.")  They were eventually displaced to Oklahoma by colonialist encroachment, but their cultural legacy is still powerful in both locations. One aspect of that culture that is rarely discussed is its matriarchal character.  Jeremy Johnson, Cultural Education Director of the Delaware Tribe, joins us to tell us about this matriarchal heritage.Sean Marlon Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.

The post Roe vs. Wade landscape changes some reproductive health choices, but informed planning about starting and building families remains the best chance for health outcomes for everyone concerned.

Europeans were surprised that Native American women had so much power and influence, particularly within the Haudenosaunee nations. In those nations, women held political power within the tribes, appointing and removing chiefs at their discretion. Center for Civic Education

Join us for a wonderful discussion of the rematriation movement as it impacts Native American people. According to the women leading the this movement, "rematriation" refers to the Indigenous concept of reclaiming ancestral remains, spirituality, culture, knowledge and resources in a manner that honors the feminine and the female in culture. Rematriation is a way to reclaim indigenous culture and sovereignty while keeping a matriarchal perspective.We talk with Kristen McCormick, an activist involved in Native American and environmental issues, as well as a CEO of a company, to discuss how Native American women's voices have become more prominent as they lead movements to reclaim their matriarchal cultural roots and improve the world for all of us. Sean Newcombe and Dawn "Sam" Alden co-host.

The FBI announced that they have compiled a list of names of missing Native Americans in New Mexico and the Navajo nation and that list contains 170 names. The FBI has also said that they are going to continually update it as new information becomes available. In what seems to be a long time coming, hopefully the people who have lost loved ones will be provided answers.

We are honored to welcome Dr. Debbie Reese, a tribally enrolled Nambé Pueblo author and scholar. Dr. Reese is best known for her popular blog American Indians in Children's Literature which “provides critical analysis of Indigenous peoples in children's and young adult books.” Dr. Reese is also the co-adapter (with Dr. Jean Mendoza) of An Indigenous People's History of the United States for Young People by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz (Beacon Press, 2019). We spend some time discussing the ways in which Drs. Reese and Mendoza adapted the often disturbing and violent history of the United States from a Native perspective, a perspective that is often left out of U.S. history books and classrooms. An Indigenous People's History of the United States for Young People has recently appeared on several lists of books that some want banned or removed from school and public libraries. We hear Dr. Reese's perspective on why books like hers are being challenged.  Our conversation offers an introduction to Dr. Reese and her work, which many librarians, teachers, parents, authors, and others consult to evaluate books by and about Native people, who are often underrepresented and misrepresented in literature. As Dr. Reese tells us, these types of misrepresentations in children's literature—including stereotypes, omissions, and inaccuracies—come at a great cost to both Native and non-Native readers.  Listen to the end of our conversation for some great recommendations of recent books for a wide range of readers, also listed below.  You can check out An Indigenous People's History of the United States for Young People here at the library and find out more about Dr. Reese at her blog American Indians in Children's Literature.  You can also find some of the books we discussed in our conversation in our collection:  Picture Books SkySisters by Jan Bourdeau Waboose, illustrated by Brian Deines On the Trapline by David Robertson, illustrated by Julie Flett Jingle Dancer by Cynthia Leitich Smith, illustrated by Cornelius Van Wright and Ying-Hwa Hu Ni, Elisi!

In this episode of Critical Reads, we will be discussing #NotYourPrincess: Voices of Native American Women by Lisa Charleyboy and Mary Beth Leatherdale. Here's a brief summary of the book courtesy of the author/publisher: "Native Women demand to be heard in this stunning anthology. Whether looking back to a troubled past or welcoming a hopeful future, the powerful voices of Indigenous women across North America resound in this book. In the same style as the best-selling Dreaming in Indian, #NotYourPrincess presents an eclectic collection of poems, essays, interviews, and art that combine to express the experience of being a Native woman. Stories of abuse, humiliation, and stereotyping are countered by the voices of passionate women making themselves heard and demanding change. Sometimes angry, often reflective, but always strong, the women in this book will give teen readers insight into the lives of women who, for so long, have been virtually invisible."

It's that time again. When we welcome the new year, enthusiastic about setting new goals and developing new habits. The problem is, we don't always follow through. So to gain perspective, we invited Ahniwake Rose, Executive Director of the Oklahoma Policy Institute, to talk about her approach to goal settings and to keeping herself accountable. We also talk about the barriers affecting women in the workplace today and how she has maneuvered some of these same challenges in order to get to where she is today.Ahniwake Rose is a VEST Founding Member and the Executive Director of the Oklahoma Policy Institute where she works to advance equitable and fiscally responsible policies in her home state. Prior to this role, Ahniwake served as the Deputy Director of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), a national organization serving the broad interests of tribal governments and communities, where she worked with a diverse coalition of civil and human rights organizations to address economic inequality and systemic injustice. Ahniwake is a Rockwood Leadership Institute Fellow and currently she serves on multiple education and youth related boards.

Episode # 135 - This WONDERFUL WOMEN'S RIGHTS MOVEMENT WEDNESDAY, we celebrate Native American Women and particularly Mohawk Clan Mother Louise Herne and Dr. Sally Roesch Wagner (a major historian of the suffrage movement) who explore the untold story of how indigenous women influenced the early suffragists in their fight for freedom and equality. They shake the foundation of the established history of the women's right movement in the US, in PBS Short Film entitled "Without A Whisper." We also talk about Susan B. Anthony known for women's suffrage, women's rights, and abolitionism, not just a face on a coin. “Never was justice more perfect; never was civilization higher,” suffrage leader Matilda Joslyn Gage wrote about the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois Confederacy, whose territory extended throughout New York State. Matilda Joslyn Gage led the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) along with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, the three women trading executive positions over the 20 years of the organization's existence. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?

NOTE: Abigail Echo Hawk will be keynoting at the American Association of Suicidology's Annual Conference on Friday, April 23rd at 9:00AM ET. You can listen to her and the many other diverse speakers virtually or in person at the conference in Orlando.Her keynote is entitled: Decolonizing Data: Restoring Culture and Building BeautyREGISTER HERE: https://www.aasconference.org/registrationOverviewHistorical trauma is often understood to be multigenerational wounding caused by the cumulative impact of major events inflicted upon a specific cultural, racial or ethnic group. When it comes to research about health and well-being, Western modalities of understanding human experience are limited and biased, further driving disparities and truncated views that can cause even more harm. By contrast, a strength-based, Indigenous framework of understanding resists the narrow view and on-going trauma of colonialism and focuses on restoration and healing. In this interview I speak with a “Storyteller of Health” and epidemiologist Abigail Echo Hawk about her vision of an anti-racist approach to data collection and recovery among tribal communities.About Abigail Echo Hawk, MAAbigail Echo-Hawk, M.A., an enrolled member of the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma, is the Chief Research Officer for the Seattle Indian Health Board, a Federally Qualified Health Center serving American Indians and Alaska Natives in King County, Washington.

UIHI assists a national network of Urban Indian Health Programs, which are private nonprofit corporations that provide native people in select cities a range of health and social services, from outreach and referral to full ambulatory care. Ms. Echo-Hawk directs a staff of public health professionals who work on multiple ongoing research, evaluation, and disease surveillance projects to benefit American Indian/Alaska Natives in urban and rural settings. She received the University of Washington Bothell's Distinguished Alumni Award in 2013 for her dedication to eliminating health disparities and was also recognized in the 2015 class of the National Center for American Indian Enterprise Development's (NCAIED) Native American 40 Under 40.As a dedicated community volunteer, Ms. Echo-Hawk has concentrated on policy and institutional change to eliminate disparities for women of color locally and nationally. She focuses on policy advocacy in areas such as maternal and child health, domestic violence, sexual assault, and health disparities. Volunteer memberships include the Native American Women's Dialogue on Infant Mortality, Hope Heart Institute, the Center for Indigenous Law and Justice, the Children and Youth Advisory Board of King County, and the Coalition to End Gender-Based Violence.Ms. Echo-Hawk's greatest joy is her place within her extended family.

Our thanks to the Newswomen's Club of New York for honoring us with a Front Page award for this podcast on Norine Hill of Mother Nation. Native women face disproportionately high rates of sexual violence, domestic abuse — even murder. The Justice Department estimates that 1 in 3 Native women will be raped. Part of the problem is that tribes are restricted in their ability to prosecute, so abusers and predators are attracted to these unprotected women. In Seattle, Norine Hill, who is a member of the Oneida Nation of the Thames, has founded Mother Nation to help women out of abusive situations and bring them culturally appropriate services so they can rediscover their strength. In this incredibly powerful podcast, we explore some of the historical injustices inflicted on Native Americans, while also sharing Hill's dramatic personal tale that led her to found Mother Nation.
