On Native Women’s Equal Pay Day, we are bringing attention to the fact that Native American women continue to have one of the most significant wage disparities in the United States. Currently, Native women who are full-time year round workers only make 58 cents on the dollar compared to non-Hispanic, white men. The gap widens to a devastating 53 cents for all Native women workers (full time year-round + part time and part year), when compared to all non-Hispanic, white male workers. These numbers do not merely serve as statistics, they reveal the financial hardship millions of Native American women experience in the United States.

Native women earn 53 cents for every dollar a white man makes. That means Native women have to work almost twice as long to earn the same pay. This isn't just a statistic—it's about real families struggling to afford food, medicine, and basic needs. Pay equity is about survival. #NativeWomensEqualPay #EquityForNativeWomen

It's #NativeWomensEqualPayDay. According to @EqualPayToday, if you look even deeper at each Tribal nation, compared to what non-hispanic, white men earn, some Native women are paid even less than 58 or 53 cents on the dollar! Help us support Native Women and fight these economic barriers. #NativeWomensEqualPay #EquityforNativeWomen

Today is #NativeWomensEqualPayDay. For every $1 earned by a non-Hispanic white man, Native women earn just 58¢. This devastating gap fuels hardship & insecurity. Economic security is safety! Let's demand #EqualPay & #EconomicJustice for #IndigenousWomen. #WageGap #PayEquity

Costs keep rising. If the wage gap closed, it would make some of the basics more affordable for Native women. #NativeWomensEqualPay #EquityForNativeWomen @npwf @return2heartfdn

Native American women face some of the widest wage gaps in the nation. In 2023, they earned less than White men in every state—as little as 41.7 cents on the dollar in Mississippi for all workers, and just 45.9 cents in Louisiana for full-time, year-round workers. These disparities stem from systemic barriers like discrimination, underpaid work, and limited access to opportunity. #NativeWomensEqualPay #EquityForNativeWomen

Native women fight not just for a paycheck—but for our families, our sovereignty, and our future. When we are paid less, our entire community feels the loss. Equal pay is about justice, survival, and dignity for all. #EquityForNativeWomen #NativeWomensEqualPay
