It's great to see this taking place at a national serving nonprofit. Proud board member! Nothing about us without us!
We have launched our first Indigenous Wisdom Council, bringing together respected leaders from diverse Indigenous communities. This council will guide our efforts in tribal communities, advocating for culturally appropriate practices and policies in home visiting. The council members include Shydelle Cavener (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi), Karla Decker (Dakota), Gwendolynn Gabbert (Athabascan/Inupiaq/Iroquois), Angela Hernandez (Dine’/Navajo, Hopi and Latina), Sanoe Marfil (Kānaka ‘Ōiwi), Gladys Rowe (Muskego Inniniw) and Jessica Whitehawk (Winnebego/Sioux). Over the next two years, this cohort will ensure our initiatives are culturally informed and responsive, promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in its programs.
