Gender roles are not really rigid at all we have elections every 2 years for new or old members and it’s pretty open in terms of gender we actually have a strong relationship between gender equality especially with younger people. I would say that the biggest misconception is that natives are dumb or low intelligence. That’s completely wrong most people of my age and younger generations are very intelligent and most have or will be going to college or some form of higher learning after high school. As for struggles I would say that we tend to have a hard time with funding but that’s how most government programs work in general. And for strengths we have a lot mainly just being close as a community I was extremely proud of how we handled COVID and how we administered the vaccine. In terms of idea of the tribe in the community as a whole is received good. The town as a whole has a population of about 4k and the tribe is I would say about 500-600 people and most of the town as a whole is connected with the tribe one way or another. As for a voice in modern society idk about that one it’s hard to tell as a whole wile I do believe that there are natives that can and do speak up about the culture and history good or bad I feel like it always falls on deaf ears. Beyond that as a whole, I do feel that if we all have a voice or speak up for those who are too afraid or whocannot speak up regardless of ethnicity or gender things can, and will eventually improve for us as a whole.
