Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
The Next Generations
Without strong and resilient youth and families, we cannot fulfill our mission. Our Next Generations Program includes Native youth summer camp grants, graduate and undergraduate scholarships, the Indian Child Welfare act and investigations into wrongful adoption practices. In addition, we focus our scholarships, summer camps, internships and fellowships to support the development of Native youth into future leaders.
Cultural Sovereignty
Our Cultural Sovereignty program has two pathways: one includes efforts that support repatriation or the return of those things that make us who we are as Native Peoples, and includes our annual repatriation conference; and our Protect the Sacred initiative works to protect Sacred Places, our ecosystems and relationships therein.
Building Allyship
Whether you are a Native person or not, we all must learn to find common ground, obtain the facts about issues important to Native Country, and work together for the best outcomes that support a world where diverse Native cultures and values are lived, protected and respected. Become an Ally is our program centered on public education to make a better world for all of us.
