Purpose of the organization: | The primary purpose of our work is dedicated to Indigenous Peoples’ self-determination and the sovereignty of Native nations. Advancing the effectiveness of Indigenous-led work is the reason why we first emerged. We remain focused on these core tenets: Recognizing that Indigenous Peoples, communities, and nations understand their issues and are best suited to design solutions and programs that remedy their concerns. Advancing the unique wisdom, knowledge, cultures, and practices that shape and inform the vitality of future generations, supporting Mother Earth’s abilities to nurture and sustain life. Mobilizing resources through strategic placement of program-related support with grants, technical assistance, and organizational capacity building to increase assets, knowledge, and skills. Engaging civil society, the philanthropic arena, and pertinent partners to advance Native issues, strategies, and perspectives. Building collective power and multi-generational leadership through focused campaigns, issue advocacy, intergenerational mentoring, convening, and peer learning. Optimizing impact and success through culturally relevant asset development for self-determined, collective prosperity. |
