Introducing Our New Program on Native Self-Determination

Leaning into our ongoing commitment to the strength and well-being of Indigenous communities, we are introducing a new program on Native self-determination.

“Indigenous Peoples and their rights, land, and culture are part of the fabric of communities across our country and our world. And yet their perspectives and the issues that impact their daily lives are often overlooked," John Palfrey said.

Palfrey reflected on the Foundation's desire to approach this work with humility, respect, and accountability: “True and lasting impact requires more than just financial support; it demands deep, meaningful engagement with Native leaders and communities.”

As we shape the program and build the team we will continue to work with Native leaders and others with expertise on issues that impact Indigenous communities.
