Remember the Matriarchs

Indigenous women's leadership has been systematically erased by colonization and patriarchal systems that distort Native traditions. To counter this erasure, Remember the Matriarchs restores matrilineal leadership narratives by supporting young Native women to create and share culturally-grounded media, trainings, and community education. By reclaiming Indigenous models of leadership, the project redefines how leadership is practiced in communities and workplaces, fosters intergenerational understanding, and broadens pathways for Native women to step into influential, public leadership roles.
