From the corridors of power to the fashion runway, from superheroes in comic books to real-life champions protecting the planet, Native women are continuing their traditional roles as leaders to make a better future.

Political trailblazer Ruth Buffalo (Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation) fights to protect vulnerable people across North Dakota as a state representative. Arigon Starr (Kickapoo) employs music, theater, and comic books to revolutionize how Native people are portrayed in the media. Betty Osceola (Miccosukee Nation) is saving the Everglades through headline-grabbing activism and Jamie Okuma (Luiseño) designs award-winning works of wearable art that are rewriting the story of Native fashion.
