The Native Nations Institute collaborates with Native nations and organizations to produce robust, usable research on governance and development that supports those entities’ objectives. We use both field-based methods and quantitative analysis in search of solutions to the contemporary challenges of Native nation rebuilding.
While we seek to contribute to academic conversations, the primary intended audience for our work is the Native nations that are working to reclaim and enact self-governing power.
We have sometimes written about our approaches; these discussions can be found in the following publications:
