Obama Foundation, MBK Leadership Forum - Indigenous Intersections

News / NCJFCJ News / Obama Foundation, MBK Leadership Forum - Indigenous Intersections

Despite having more than 19 Tribal communities accept the original MBK (My Brother’s Keeper) 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 discusses Tribal intersections with MBK.

Sheldon Spotted Elk, Program Director, Tribal Justice Partnerships for the NCJFCJ is part of this informative panel.
