The White House Initiative on Advancing Educational Equity, Excellence, and Economic Opportunity for Native Americans and Strengthening Tribal Colleges and Universities (WHI TCU), along with the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Labor, have been hosting a virtual four-part dialogue series that addresses multiple topics that impact employment for American Indians and Alaska Natives.

This virtual dialogue, the third in the series, will review economic disparities and access to financial resources within Native communities. The American Indian and Alaska Native communities in the United States continue to face pervasive structural barriers to economic advancement. Speakers will share strategies for supporting Native individuals, including those with disabilities, with resources for economic self-sufficiency, the importance of banking, and financial education. You will also hear personal stories from Native speakers with disabilities on their financial journey to economic advancement and self-sufficiency.
