Tuesday, March 21, 2023 – Native American Muslims

As Muslims prepare for the holy month of Ramadan, a small number of Native Americans are among them. Whether they’ve converted to Islam or it was brought into their culture by marriage, Native people who practice Islam often have to seek out fellow Muslims. Today on Native America Calling, we examine the intersection of Islam and Native culture with Ashley Wolford (Choctaw), community organizer and participant of the Native American and Indigenous Muslim Stories (NAIMS) project; NAIMS participant LaTanya Barlow (Navajo); and Samira Brotherson (African American), founder of Hidaya Women’s Resource and Advocacy Program.
