First lady Michelle Obama has a message for Native American youth: You matter.

Speaking to the White House’s first-ever Tribal Youth Gathering on Thursday in Washington, D.C., the first lady said their generation has the power to turn around centuries of discrimination and put their communities on a better path.

“I know you all can make the change you seek, day by day, vote by vote, eagle feather by eagle feather. That’s how we have always made progress in this country,” Obama told the more than 1,000 youths. “No action is too small; every voice matters.”
