State of Our Workforce: Closing the Equity Gap for Native American Workers
On this episode of State of Our Workforce we continued our series on the Anthropology of Work. In honor of Native American Heritage Month, we explored the systemic barriers Native American workers face and the strategies needed to build a more inclusive workforce.
We are so thankful to have been joined by Natasha Hale, Project Lead for Workforce Grantmaking in Native Nations and Communities at Workforce Matters, who shared insights into the cultural, economic, and historical contexts shaping Native workforce inclusion today. Explore what it means to close the equity gap, creating pathways to opportunity and resilience for Indigenous communities across the nation.
