Native Americans in Philanthropy is a powerful and growing network of Native and non-Native nonprofits, tribal communities, foundations and community leaders committed to engaging, learning and sharing resources and best practices grounded the Native tradition of reciprocity. Our work promotes reciprocity and investment in, with, and for Native peoples to build healthy and sustainable communities for all.
The aftermath of the 2016 election has left many people within our communities afraid. We know that Natives Americans have endured a long history of racism and colonialism that has led to multi-generational, community historical trauma and this election has shown the escalation of racism and violence against our communities. We are collecting stories of these incidents so we can create supportive circles of resources and begin to hold our elected officials accountable for all people, including the first peoples of this country.
