IllumiNative: Reclaiming Native Truth

This session will provide an overview of the research findings from the Reclaiming Native Truth project, an unprecedented 2-year public opinion and strategy-setting project led by and for Native peoples. It was the largest project of its kind focused on changing the damaging, inaccurate narratives about Native peoples and dismantling the invisibility and erasure that create bias, discrimination and structural racism. It will also explore next steps in this movement to illuminate the vibrancy and power of Native voices, knowledge and stories that can transform public perceptions and move hearts and minds to advance tribal sovereignty, social justice and equity for Native peoples.
