SUMMARY:NAP Member Education Session: Protecting All Native Knowledge Journeys
DESCRIPTION:Education is more than a pathway forward for our communities; it is a bridge between generations\, carrying the wisdom of our elders into the future and ensuring our youth are set up to succeed. Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP) is honored to hold space for our educators who are protecting the passing on of traditional knowledge and improving access to opportunities across Indian Country. As our Tribal Colleges and Universities face even more drastic underfunding\, this moment presents an opportunity for the philanthropic sector to uplift critical community development initiatives. \nJoin us for a very special conversation featuring Dr. Shelly C. Lowe (Navajo Nation)\, President of the Institute of American Indian Arts; Doris Tinsley (Shinnecock)\, Co-Founder of Native Americans in Higher Education and Mentorship; Julie Garreau (Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe)\, CEO of the Cheyenne River Youth Project; and Tracy L. Canard Goodluck (Oneida Nation of Wisconsin/Mvskoke Creek)\, Executive Director of the Center for Native American Youth at the Aspen Institute as they share how philanthropy can better support thriving Native communities through sustainable education and guidance grounded in our cultural values and traditions. \nNAP is also excited to announce the return of Junior Moderators in each of our Member Education Sessions this year! Anagali Duncan (Cherokee Nation) will be joining this broadcast to help guide our conversation.

Through discussion\, reflection\, youth-led insights\, storytelling and a brief cultural activity\, we will examine how culture\, identity and good medicine can strengthen resilience and leadership.
