Indigenous Speakers Series: Beautiful Strengths of Indigenous Communities

Rooted in Yakama traditions and the wisdom of Elders, her talk will highlight the resilience and brilliance of Indigenous communities while offering a message of hope, love, and collective strength to inspire a more connected and compassionate world.
