Each month, we will be featuring educational resources on the NAAFA Community Voices Blog. Some resources will be historic information about systemic racism. Others will be resources on doing the internal work of understanding ourselves and how we play a part in that system. This month’s Anti-Racism Resources focus on Indigenous People in honor of Indigenous Heritage Month. You can find more resources on the NAAFA website.
