Introduction to Native Women’s Equal Pay Day

Native Women’s Equal Pay Day represents how far into the year Native women must work to earn what non-Hispanic white men earned the previous year. On average, Native women are paid 51 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. This staggering gap is more than just a number—it symbolizes the structural inequalities that must be addressed. By acknowledging this day, we aim to educate, advocate for change, and uplift Native voices.
