Taking Action
The feedback we received during our tour aligned well with an action plan carried out by one of our Native Nation Rebuilders: Cohort 9 Rebuilder Levi Brown developed a Tribal civics course. While originally tailored specifically to his Native nation, our team worked with him and other leaders to create a Tribal civics model available to all interested Native nations. We hope this initiative will lead to more informed Tribal citizens who are empowered to participate in and contribute to their nations and governments.
What's Next
We are excited to launch our virtual workshop series in 2022! We will be recruiting Tribal citizens, Native changemakers, educators, and grassroots community leaders from various Native nations to participate in this pilot. Reach out to program manager Apryl Deel-McKenzie if you are interested!
