Throughout November, we’re spotlighting Native changemakers—leaders, artists, and advocates who are shaping their communities and driving change. Today we highlight Matika Wilbur.

Matika Wilbur is a member of the Swinomish and Tulalip Tribes and an accomplished photographer dedicated to reshaping perceptions of Native American communities. In 2012, she launched her ambitious project, Project 562, photographing people from nearly every federally recognized tribe across the United States to highlight Native identity and resilience. Wilbur’s work emphasizes personal choice and cultural pride, allowing her subjects to showcase their own stories and traditions. Through her compelling imagery and storytelling, she aims to humanize Native peoples, challenge stereotypes, and foster a collective understanding of Indigenous strength and diversity. Her project has garnered national attention, inspiring conversations about identity, recognition, and the ongoing presence of Native communities in contemporary America.

This , we’re calling on our Members of Congress to take a tangible step to closing the gender wage gap by supporting the .

In the U.S., Indigenous women working full-time earn just 58 cents to the dollar compared to white, non-Hispanic men.
Let that sink in.
Only $0.58 to the $1.00. That's almost half. How can we expect someone to survive on that?
It’s past time for solutions.

In the U.S., 56% of Native mothers are the breadwinners in their families, yet the motherhood, gender, and racial wage gaps mean that Native women working full time would have to work until today, November 18 to make what a white, non-Hispanic man working year-round, full time made the previous calendar year.

Colonial legacies of state-sanctioned violence, genocide, and cultural erasure continue to contribute to higher rates of poverty and unemployment in Native communities, and Native women experience a strikingly severe gender wage gap.

Support the Paycheck Fairness Act of 2025 (PFA): This legislation would close critical loopholes in the Equal Pay Act of 1963, which made it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages based on gender and formally established the policy of equal pay for equal work. PFA would strengthen that existing landmark law.
