Despite the crucial role that #indigenouswomen play in their communities as breadwinners, caretakers, knowledge keepers, leaders and human rights defenders, they often suffer from intersecting levels of discrimination on the basis of gender, class, ethnicity and socioeconomic status. These women are some of the many indigenous women leaders at local and national levels that stand on the frontlines of defending their lands, their cultures, and their communities. 🧡🧡🧡 @hindououmar @nemonte.nenquimo @yasnayae @quannah.rose #WeAreIndigenous #IndigenousPeoplesDay #IndigenousDay #IndigenousPeoples
