What:
The Center for Native American Youth at the Aspen Institute cordially invites you to join us for a November public event titled “Native American Youth: Changing the Narrative.” Moderated by Former US Senator Byron Dorgan (Ret.), in discussion with experts: Jodi Gillette, Standing Rock Sioux, Special Assistant to the President for Native American Affairs; Val Davidson, Yup’ik, Indian health advocate and parent; Littlebear Sanchez, Lipan/Mescalero Apache Nation, Native youth.
Native American youth are too often overlooked in the national dialogue and continue to be misrepresented by negative, race-based stereotypes. In recognition of National Native American Heritage Month, the Center for Native American Youth will highlight priorities for and perspectives on racial equity – including those from Native young people themselves – to inspire policymakers, foundations and other advocates to make Native youth a priority. The panel discussion will be moderated by US Senator Byron Dorgan (ret.) and feature actor Chaske Spencer, a Native youth, and national leaders who are advocating for equity and changing the way the world views tribal nations. A catered lunch will be provided. Please arrive early to serve yourself.
Lunch buffet to be served. **RSVP required.
