In honor of Women's History Month, it's important to recognize the vital role American Indian and Alaska Native women play in Tribal culture, especially the Native women among the Nine Federally Recognized Tribes of Oregon. These women are the heart of their communities, serving as cultural keepers, leaders, caregivers, and educators. They carry forward centuries-old traditions, passing down languages, customs, and wisdom. American Indian and Alaska Native women have been central to maintaining Tribal Sovereignty, promoting social justice, and advocating for the well-being of future generations. Their strength, resilience, and leadership continue to inspire change and uplift their communities across Oregon and beyond.
