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 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:
22 & 2
22 grassroots leaders from 2 Native nations took part in Tribal Civics programs
136,000+

4,500
Participation hours for 22 changemakers learning transformative leadership skills, adding to our network of over 200 Native Nation Rebuilders
Upcoming Events
In the first session of our event series focused on positive partnerships across Native nations and communities, we’ll explore the relationship between higher education and the Native students, staff, and communities they serve.
In the second session of our event series on positive partnerships, we’ll focus on Native-led collaboration, reshaping health systems, and advancing community-driven wellness.
Native Governance Center will be attending the WEWIN Conference in July. Throughout the week, NGC will have a table with information about our programming, some swag, and a giveaway; plus we'll also be leading a session. Stop by our table to say han, boozhoo, hi!
