We’ve spent the past 8 months creating the It Takes A Village Nation brand and building the website and we plan to continue to improve the platform.
Here are a few of the features to look forward to in the upcoming months:
- Cover Photo Repositioning: Currently you can upload a cover photo, however you cannot choose how to crop it or reposition the photo. We are aware that this can be frustrating and are working on ways to improve this.
- Login Using Existing Social Media (facebook, twitter, etc.): We’d like to make signing up or logging into our site as accessible as possible for users. Integrating social media sign-up or login will eliminate the need to remember another password.
- Curated Content: We plan to feature blog posts and news articles related to social causes that you care about! To inquire about writing for our platform email us at: team@ittakesavillagenation.com
- It Takes A Village Nation Phone App: Our platform was primarily built to be used on the desktop with mobile responsive capabilities. Our plan is to create an app in the future that streamlines the process of using the site through mobile devices.
Donate to our Generosity Campaign page to support our continued development efforts and outreach for It Takes A Village Nation.

December 14, 1915 - "Red Fox James Pushes for Day Honoring Indigenous Americans"
Red Fox James, also known as Red Fox Skiuhushu, presented at the White House endorsements from 24 state governments for a day to honor indigenous Americans. He rode over 4,000 miles on horseback from state to state seeking these endorsements.He was thought to be from the Blackfoot Tribe of Montana. Although Red Fox James was not successful in his bid to lobby the government to create an indigenous people's day, it laid the groundwork for President Ronald Reagan to create American Indian Day in 1983.
