YWCA Racial Equity and Inclusion Program Presents FDR and the Native New Deal, lecture given by Shawn Price of the Dine'Tah Navajo Cultural Program. Explore the impact of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1930s policies, notably the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, or "Native New Deal." This transformative policy marked a pivotal shift toward revitalizing Native sovereignty, land reclamation, and self-governance. Discover how Native Nations contributed to WWII and the enduring legacy of these contributions on Native American rights and federal-tribal relations, shaping the path toward renewed autonomy and cultural resilience. Join us in examining this historic era that redefined Native empowerment and reshaped the government-to-Native nation relationship.
