SUMMARY:Better Together: Partnerships in Education Across NDN Country
DESCRIPTION:This is one of a 3-part event series exploring positive partnerships across NDN Country by sharing stories of collaboration with Native nations\, urban Native communities\, Native-led organizations\, and more. \nAs a follow-up to our 2024 event Partnering with Native Nations in a Good Way and its corresponding guide\, we invite folks to learn more and expand upon this important topic; we will be hosting sessions focused on health\, higher education\, and government-to-government relations. \nAttendees will learn best practices from a variety of Indigenous leaders and receive tips for taking action. \nBetter Together: Partnerships in Education Across NDN Country\nIn 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. \nMany campuses offer land acknowledgement statements and some offer Native tuition benefits\, but meaningful partnership goes beyond statements and minimal support. Native students and staff are often the ones pushing for and leading change at their campuses. While Native voices should be included\, how can we shift this responsibility in higher education to campus leadership? \nJoin us for a conversation with Native changemakers who have experience working as advocates in higher education. We’ll examine how colleges and universities can center Indigeneity without overburdening their Native students and staff\, shift away from optical allyship\, and avoid tokenization so they can build authentic relationships with Native nations and communities. \nThis session will offer actionable ideas for campus leaders\, staff\, and faculty committed to moving from performative to transformative partnerships. \nRegister today!

SUMMARY:NGC Presenting at RES 2026
DESCRIPTION:Native Governance Center will be attending and presenting at the Reservation Economic Summit (RES) from March 23-26\, 2026\, in Las Vegas. Join our session and stop by to visit our booth and say hello!  \nPresentation: Empowering Citizens: Financial Literacy in Tribal Communities \n\nWhen: 10:00 a.m. – 10:50 a.m. PDT\, Thursday\, March 26th\nWhere: Milano Ballroom I at Caesar’s Palace\nSession Description: Financial literacy is a cornerstone of strong governance\, civic engagement\, and empowered citizens. Nearly all Native nations have boards\, commissions\, and governmental positions where financial knowledge is essential for effective decision-making and accountability. When community members and tribal government employees have tools to understand financial documents and principles\, they’re better equipped to provide meaningful engagement\, feedback\, and oversight. Financial literacy helps shift from having transparency to true accountability. Ultimately\, strengthening self-determination and effective governance. Using case studies from Native nations with successful financial literacy programs\, we’ll share key strategies\, challenges\, and culturally grounded approaches to community financial education.\n\n
