Native America Calling: Progress and pushback for Native Pride
Friday, June 6, 2025
Pride under pressure: LGBTQ2 progress and pushback
An exhibit at the Museum of Natural and Cultural History in Eugene, Oregon, assembles works by Native LGBTQ2 artists that express this moment in time.
It is among the hundreds of events, including parades and panel discussions, to mark Pride Month. This year’s push for awareness will have to go on without acknowledgement by the federal government, which is foregoing any mention of Pride.
And the annual report by the advocacy group, GLAAD, notes that while violent incidents against gay and lesbian people are down as a whole in the past year, attacks against trans citizens has significantly increased. Tune in to check on the status of Native Pride.
Plus, we’ll get career highlights of the late actor Jonathan Joss (Comanche and White Mountain Apache) who died this week.
