Episode 147: Stepping into First Gen Power to Change Statistic & Education for Indigenous Peoples with Daphne Littlebear

When you have more Indigenous researchers in the field, we can be at the forefront of the data that’s collected about us and visibility to that data.
— 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.
