BNC: Financial Education Curriculum

Financial Skills for Families
In 2001, First Nations Development Institute worked in partnership with the Fannie Mae Foundation to produce the Building Native Communities: Financial Skills for Families curriculum, a culturally appropriate guide to financial education in Native communities. In 2011, in partnership with First Nations Oweesta Corporation, First Nations Development Institute revised this workbook and released the 4th edition. Copies of the student workbook and the Instructor’s Resource and Training Guide are now available.  If you have questions about the Building Native Communities: Financial Skills for Families curriculum, please email Jaci Ree (jaci@oweesta.org.)
