Welcome to the Department of Tribal Governance

At the Department of Tribal Governance, the heart of our mission

is to strengthen tribal sovereignty and leadership.

Central to our philosophy is the inter-connected relationship between tribal self-goverance and community wellbeing. 

Our courses and curriculum are designed and delivered in response to requests by tribal partners. We recognize, utilize, and uplift Indigenous ways of life and knowledge, and we often call upon tribal leaders, expert, and Elders to share their knowledge. We currently offer culturally-responsive place-based curriculum, trainings and workshops focused on:

    • Tribal governance and law

    • Tribal stewardship 

    • Tribal administration and management

    • Tribal policy and advocacy 

    • Tribal economies
