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.
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 2025, 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:
50 + 3
Over 50 community members from 3 Native nations took part in Candidate Forums moderated by NGC.
5,000+
Downloads on our Resources pages, a 40% increase over 2024.
17,142
Participation hours for 14 changemakers learning transformative leadership skills, adding to our network of over 200 Native Nation Rebuilders
Upcoming Events
