Episode 147: Stepping into First Gen Power to Change Statistic & Education for Indigenous Peoples with Daphne Littlebear
Statistics and education are a part of our everyday lives in American culture. What we often don’t think about is how the presentation of education to kids can change their acceptance to or trust in that education. Similarly, we often aren't looking at how our data is being gathered for us to make decisions as a community. Today’s guest, Daphne Littlebear, is taking all of that on for Indigenous and native communities in America. I’m excited for you to hear her journey and to gain a new perspective of what it means to be counted and understood.
