Native Women Leading the Way: From Revolution to the Future | Cultivating Learning

In many Native cultures, it is common for women to hold leadership roles in society. Join Renée Gokey and Yadira Hadlett, from the National Museum of the American Indian, to explore a new teaching poster that focuses on three Native American women whose actions were historically significant during the American Revolution. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of the important contributions of Konwatsi’tsiaienni, a Mohawk leader of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy; Nanye’hi, a Cherokee Beloved Woman; and Nonhelema, a Shawnee Peace Chief and learn ways to tie history to contemporary Native culture.

Program Details:
This is a Zoom webinar with automatic captioning. You’ll be able to participate using the chat and Q&A, and your camera and mic will be disabled. We’ll record and post the webinar on the Smithsonian Learning Lab’s Events page approximately 72 hours after the session ends.
