Mount Matriarch

In many Indigenous communities, women hold positions of power and are responsible for maintaining the well-being of the community. This form of leadership is based on principles of reciprocity, respect, and responsibility, and it has sustained Native communities for thousands of years.

Despite this, the United States government has historically recognized male leaders over female ones, further marginalizing Native women. So today we will use as a reminder of the need for greater recognition and respect for women's contributions to their communities.

Celebrate our Matriarchs and the contributions of these powerful women.
