SOVEREIGNTY IS THE INHERENT RIGHT OF TRIBAL NATIONS TO GOVERN THEMSELVES BY ESTABLISHING SYSTEMS THAT PROVIDE ORGANIZATION TO THEIR SOCIETY, OFFER PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO THEIR MEMBERS, AND WORK WITH OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES ON A NATION-TO-NATION BASIS. WHEN WE SAY NATION BUILDING, WE MEAN THE PROCESSES BY WHICH A NATIVE NATION ENHANCES ITS OWN CAPACITY FOR EFFECTIVE SELF-GOVERNANCE AND SELF-DETERMINATION. NATIVE GOVERNANCE CENTER HELPS TRIBES IMPROVE THEIR GOVERNANCE SYSTEMS BECAUSE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT STRONG TRIBAL GOVERNANCE LEADS TO MORE SUCCESSFUL TRIBAL COMMUNITIES AND ECONOMIES. NATIVE GOVERNANCE CENTER DOES THIS WORK THROUGH TWO MAIN PROGRAM AREAS: LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND TRIBAL GOVERNANCE SUPPORT.

REBUILDERS ACCESS IDEAS AND INFORMATION, BUILD THEIR NETWORKS, AND LEARN LEADERSHIP SKILLS. THEY THEN DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT ACTION PLANS FOR NATION BUILDING PROJECTS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES. ENROLLED MEMBERS OF THE 23 NATIVE NATIONS SHARING TERRITORY WITH MINNESOTA, NORTH DAKOTA AND SOUTH DAKOTA ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY.YOUTH REBUILDERS: YOUTH REBUILDERS IS A NEW, YOUTH-CENTERED WING OF OUR LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM AREA.
