Join NMPRSA for a panel in celebration of Native American Heritage Month.

Through generations of advocacy and cultural expression, Native communities have shaped movements that continue to resonate today.
This panel will feature prominent Native voices who are leading efforts to increase Native representation in public office, elevate cultural pride, and build economic pathways for Native-owned businesses. Attendees will gain insights into how these movements intersect with public relations, storytelling, and community engagement.
