Native Governance Center
Danielle Gangelhoff's Company Details
Native Governance Center is a Native American-led nonprofit organization that assists Tribal nations in strengthening their systems of governance and capacity to exercise sovereignty. The organization was created in response to a need identified by Tribal leaders representing the 23 Native nations in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. These leaders expressed the need for an organization that would meet the expanding demand for Tribal governance-related resources and sustain this work into the long-term future. Native Governance Center works at the intersection of leadership development and Tribal governance support.Leadership DevelopmentNative Nation Rebuilders is a two-year, cohort-based initiative designed to help participants develop the knowledge, skills, and connections they need to effectively lead nation building efforts. When we say nation building, we mean the processes by which a Native nation enhances its own capacity for effective self-governance. Youth Rebuilders is our newest offering and grew out of the Native Nation Rebuilders program. It's a multi-day experience for Native youth that uses digital advocacy, videography training, and Tribal governance education to equip participants with leadership skills and inspire civic responsibility.
