Cultivating a Rebuilding Movement

We’re working to cultivate a Native nation rebuilding movement so that all Indigenous people can thrive on their own terms.

How can we help you?

Native Governance Center is a Native-led nonprofit dedicated to assisting Native nations in strengthening their governance systems and capacity to exercise sovereignty.

Our Programs

Leadership Development

We provide leadership development training for Indigenous changemakers through our Native Nation Rebuilders program.

Tribal Governance Support

We engage elected Tribal leaders, administrators, and citizens in strengthening their Tribal governance systems.

Community Engagement

We bring mission-driven, accessible, educational content to the broader community.

Tribal Finance

We support Native nations in building their financial leadership and capacity.

Our Impact

In 2023, we expanded our impact through Tribal finance, community engagement resources, and leadership development, among other focus areas. Here’s a sample of what we accomplished:
