One of the ways we enable and foster a diverse, inclusive workplace where everyone can feel like they belong is through our <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/diversity\/employee-resource-groups\/\">Employee Resource Groups<\/a> (ERGs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, we\u2019ll be launching two new ERGs \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/diversity\/autodesk-mind-network\/\">Autodesk MIND Network<\/a> and Autodesk Indigenous Network (AIN). I have the honor to serve on the board of AIN and I\u2019m looking forward to all the great things we will do through this community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Autodesk Indigenous Network was created to give a voice to Indigenous Autodesk employees, creating awareness and sharing the Indigenous experience with others. We aspire to provide community and mentorship to Indigenous employees, while also expanding conversations on diversity as it pertains to Indigenous people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to serve in leadership for the AIN because I\u2019m excited about the impact it can have on employees and Autodesk as a whole. AIN will seek to include global representation for all Indigenous communities. I want to help increase and support Autodesk\u2019s diversity efforts and contribute in any way I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m a member of the Kalispel Tribe. We\u2019re a small tribe with less than 500 members. Our ancestral land was vast, including eastern Washington, Northern Idaho, and parts of Montana (near present-day Kalispel, Montana). Our reservation was established in 1914 and is based 50 miles north of Spokane, WA. I\u2019m happy to share my own experiences as an Indigenous employee with my fellow Autodeskers, and I\u2019m also looking forward to learning more about the more than 5,000 Indigenous cultures that exist globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/IMG-0100-Cropped-copy-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/IMG-0100-Cropped-copy-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/IMG-0100-Cropped-copy-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/IMG-0100-Cropped-copy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/IMG-0100-Cropped-copy-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/IMG-0100-Cropped-copy.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Dancers in their regalia at the Kalispel pow wow<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, Indigenous communities have been lumped into one category even though there\u2019s a vast range of diversity among geographic tribes and nations. Our hope is to find and celebrate the culture of other Autodesk Indigenous employees globally. We will educate and reinforce positive Indigenous culture and help eradicate misinformed stereotypes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As AIN is a brand-new ERG, planning is still underway, but we\u2019re looking forward to partnering with other ERGs and brainstorming new activities. We\u2019ve already discussed inviting various prominent Indigenous people to speak with Autodesk employees, and we plan to host fun and educational events around Indigenous cooking and food. We\u2019ve even brainstormed starting a book club with Indigenous authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m also very excited to find ways to give back to Indigenous communities and the land we inhabit. Our culture has a very strong connection to the earth and living sustainability \u2013 I think Autodesk\u2019s values align well with Indigenous beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joining the Autodesk Indigenous Network will be a great way to network with fellow Autodeskers, learn more about our colleagues\u2019 cultures, and celebrate the diversity within our company. We warmly welcome anyone who would like to be part of our ERG!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Learn more about Autodesk\u2019s employee
