SUMMARY:Better Together: Partnerships in Governance Across NDN Country
DESCRIPTION:This is the third session in our 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 Governance Across NDN Country\nIn the third and final session of our event series\, we’ll focus on how local\, state\, and federal governments can build meaningful government-to-government relationships with Native nations and communities. \nWhile consultation with Native nations is a legal requirement in some instances\, it’s often not enough on its own. True collaboration means moving beyond checking the box and working towards shared power\, mutual understanding with trust\, and respect for Tribal sovereignty. \nJoin us for a conversation with Native leaders deeply experienced in government relationships and community leadership. Our panelists will share stories and strategies for navigating cross-government partnerships and co-creating solutions that benefit everyone. \nThis session will offer valuable information for government staff\, elected officials\, planners\, and community leaders ready to move from performative to transformative relationship-building and support Native sovereignty in practice. \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
