Native Governance Center will be attending the Native Power Building Summit on July 16th, hosted by Advance Native Political Leadership.

It is an affirmation of who we are and who we are becoming. Together, we will celebrate joy as a powerful force, courageous leadership, and coming together to imagine and build futures where Indigenous voices continue to lead.
As a Native-led and serving organization, we look forward to connecting with a strong network of Native leaders and learning more about how we can uplift the presence of Natives in leadership roles across Indian Country.
Will you be at the event? We hope to connect and say han, boozhoo, hi!
