“We need to be here. Indigenous people, Native folks being at the table, creating our own tables where we can fulfill our dreams, where we can make the change that we so deserve to see-it is one of the most powerful things that we can do.” -Lieutenant Governor of Mni Sota Makoce (Minnesota) Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Band of Ojibwe)
As the final speaker of our 2024 Annual Conference’s closing plenary, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan delivered a powerful message of inclusion, representation, and progress to our Native relatives. Every year, more and more Indigenous talent are taking seats across government and philanthropy.
As exhausting as the work may be, we ARE seeing progress. We ARE reclaiming stolen land, we ARE revitalizing our languages and cultural practices, we ARE funding initiatives to support our most vulnerable communities. We ARE creating a brighter, Indigenized future.
