[Voice of Quannah Chasinghorse, Model, Actress, and Land Protector]
00:00:40:22 - 00:00:52:08: You think about who's sitting at the table and how they make decisions, and usually there's a lack of representation. There's usually not an Indigenous voice in those spaces, let alone a young Indigenous voice.
[Voice of Caleb Dunlap, Amazon Program Manager, Brand Protection]
00:00:54:22 - 00:01:08:21: It's so important that we feel seen and heard across the board, so that the young people can step into every space feeling confident, owning their space, empowering much more than just for ourselves.

[Voice of Dr. Buu Nygren, Navajo Nation President]
00:01:21:02 - 00:01:43:23: As a young tribal member in the Navajo Nation, I always remembered to look up to our leaders. It's important that we continue to advocate and be champions, because you never know one of your kids who feels like they can't be a leader. It’s totally possible, as long as we always continue to remember where we come from, who we represent. I'm representing my community.
[Voice of Isabel Yasana Hawley, Nike, Consumer, Direct Value Brand Manager]

00:02:35:20 - 00:03:02:13: We just love providing services and educational opportunities to all native students. I'm also proud to say I teach Muskogee language. I think Amazon, being an innovative global business, can partner across Indian country to enhance what we're already doing really well. That's providing for our communities, and I think Amazon can be a big part of that. I absolutely believe it.
00:03:02:15 - 00:03:25:12: I get to focus on bringing purpose and community to life across our fleet of over 185 plus stores. It started with N7 which is the native initiative within Nike. It's our brand. It's our community's brand. It gives back through the Nike N7 fund representation, visibility and helping shape the indigenous culture inside of Nike, which is really important because we have over 70,000 plus employees.
