🎥 WATCH NOW on IJA’s YouTube: Resilient Voices: The Legacy of the Native American Journalists Association! For over 40 years, Indigenous journalists have strengthened the Indigenous Journalists Association (IJA), evolving from the Native American Press Association in 1983. The recent name change from NAJA to IJA reflects a commitment to global collaboration and aligns with the UN Declaration on Indigenous Rights. To honor this legacy, Resilient Voices features interviews with former NAJA presidents, produced by Sarah Liese (Diné/Chippewa Cree) and shot and edited by RDG PR. - https://tinyurl.com/mpapvkzt #IJA #IndigenousJournalism
