In Sacramento County, one group of young Native girls is living that resilience every week -- learning to lead, speak proudly and reclaim their identity.
Since 2018, the Sacramento-based nonprofit has helped Native American girls find confidence, connection and belonging.
Aguilar says the idea to form the group came to her after seeing her only daughter struggle, like she did.
Angelina Hinojosa considers herself a first member.
Just like her mom, Angelina helps guide and inspire Native American girls to be their authentic selves and become confident leaders in their own community.
This group meeting does more than create a safe space. It allows them to embrace their identity no matter where they go in the world.
Their energetic laughter is contagious.
"The circle teachings, for us as a tribal community, means that there's equality. Everyone is equal. We sit in a circle," Aguilar said. "The more that we can create trust, that's the goal."
"I'm having to shift the narrative into knowing that they are already powerful. They're so powerful within their own selves already," Aguilar said.
"They get to advocate for things they're passionate about. And so, for me, that is the most empowering thing," Aguilar said.
The Native Sisters Circle will take part in the 2nd Annual Native American Heritage Month Parade on Saturday, Nov. 8 at the California State Capitol. For more information about the youth group, head to their website.
