Federal policy perspectives from women tribal leaders
The executive council winter session of the National Congress of American Indians is a forum for tribal leaders to meet with elected leaders and their staffs to make the case for Native American interests.
In addition to protecting sovereignty, the Trust Responsibility and economic development, what is being done to ensure progress on Missing and Murdered Indigenous People, the Violence Against Women Act, and protecting women against domestic violence?
Tune in to hear from some Native women tribal leaders about what they see as the priorities and strategies for making progress with the federal government in the near future and the long term.
