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 young Native 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. About the Center for Native American Youth Founded by former US Senator Byron Dorgan, the Center for Native American Youth is a policy program within the Aspen Institute, headquartered in Washington, DC. The goal is to bring greater national attention to the issues facing Native American youth, and to foster solutions. Visit cnay.org to learn more.
