On today’s episode of the Inspired Podcast, some of our topics include content related to Missing And Murdered Indigenous Women and violence in our communities.

Featuring special guests American Indian Graduate Center CEO Angelique Albert (Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes) and Board Member Rick Williams (Oglala Lakota, Northern Cheyenne), our discussion will explore the false narrative surrounding the history of Native education in the United States, and how educators, institutions and philanthropists can become allies as we empower Native scholars.
