We've always been here, as the history of the Māhū shows us
Māhū roughly translates to “in the middle” or “in between.”
Historically, māhū played important spiritual and social roles within their communities

Today, we highlight the pay disparity faced by Native American women. On average, Native women earn only 60 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. This inequality affects families, communities, and our economy as a whole.
