Centuries of broken promises and invisibility have left Native American communities facing some of the deepest inequities in the United States. Native tribes are strong and resilient, but they've also been systematically excluded from resources, representation, and visibility. Today, many Native communities face:
- Underfunded schools and health care systems
- Limited access to clean water, healthy food, and infrastructure
- High rates of poverty and unemployment
- Centuries of stereotypes and cultural erasure
Most Americans learn little or nothing about the realities of Native lives, and that lack of awareness keeps these disparities in place. But together, we can change the story.
Pledge to become #NativeAware today—starting with awareness, respect, and action to support tribal communities. By taking the #NativeAware pledge, I promise to:
- Recognize the injustices facing Native Americans.
- Respect indigenous culture and identity by rejecting cultural appropriation and racist stereotypes, mascots, and costumes.
- Respond with meaningful action: listen to Native voices, share what you learn, and support trusted Native-led organizations.
Take the #NativeAware Pledge today!
