This presentation will highlight the oppression of the Native American race throughout history. It will identify the flaws of our nation and give the audience a new perspective on Native American values. Through the four aspects of cultural appropriation, higher education, leadership, and media we will expose the ways Natives continue to be treated. Our research will dig deep to present the conditions that made this possible, as well as the ways this oppression has transitioned to new mediums or practices. It will scratch the surface of Native American culture as well as the most current forms of Native American oppression. We will wrap up our presentation by illuminating the path we all must take to impact the future.
