This is a small sample of films and documentaries showcasing the powerful stories of Native American women. While not exhaustive, it’s a starting point to explore these narratives. Which ones have you seen? What should we add to the watchlist? #WCAPS #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

Native women carry both trauma & triumph. They’ve endured violence & loss yet rise with resilience to reclaim their rights. We honor leaders like Winona LaDuke, who restores Native lands, & Tillie Black Bear, who fought violence against women. #WCAPS #IndigenousPride

Native Americans face unique challenges shaped by history, identity, and sovereignty. From debates on blood quantum to Freedmen recognition and the impact of the affirmative action ruling, advocacy is complex. #WCAPS #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

Cultural appropriation impacts Native Americans year-round—Halloween costumes, Coachella, or brands profiting from Native designs without permission. Here's a quick look at its effects on Native communities & how to do better. #WCAPS #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #IndigenousPride

Native Americans have the highest per capita military service rate of any ethnic group. While reasons for serving vary, common themes such as honor, tradition & duty emerge. We offer thanks to the N.A. women who choose to serve a nation that violated their rights & communities.

On December 10th, we unite globally to reaffirm the universal rights and freedoms that belong to every individual. This year’s theme, “Our Rights, Our Future, Right Now,” reminds us that protecting human rights is not just about the past or the future—it’s about action today.
