Join us July 21st, one week from today, for a very unique Webinar: After 100 Years Native Women Still Face Barriers Voting, featuring a panel of all Native American women. Space is limited! To register for the July 21st webinar please visit: bit.ly/liftingvoiceszoom1
About the Webinar: "This year many will celebrate the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote with the 19th Amendment. However, it did not grant all women the right to vote. Women of color, and specifically Native American women, were excluded from the protections of the 19th Amendment. Barriers to this right continue even to this day. In this panel, featuring all Native American women, we will be discussing how Native peoples were denied the right to citizenship and voting rights, and how the legacies of these injustices are still impacting Native communities today."
Thank you to our friends at Colorado State University Native American Cultural Center for co-organizing the panel and many thanks to National Park Foundation for generously funding our "Lifting Voices from the Shadows" project, which supports this webinar series and the recording of Northern Arapaho women's oral histories.
