MBK Leadership Forum - Indigenous Intersections - Allyship with Tribal Communities / Peoples
Despite having more than 19 Tribal communities accept the original MBK Community Challenge, and having numerous tribal young men participating in MBK programs in urban centers, we’ve struggled to ensure our Native brothers and sisters see themselves in this work. We acknowledge allyship is much more difficult to navigate with erasure and invisibility being main barriers to being seen and heard in modern society. This session with indigenous leaders discussed Tribal intersections with MBK.
Expected Outcome
Viewers will deepen their understanding of some of the challenges experienced by tribal young men and native communities.
