Research and Advocacy for Native Economic Justice

Strengthening Native economies has always been at the heart of what we do at First Nations, and all our programs incorporate an overarching recognition that the resources, assets, ingenuity, and approaches of Native communities all play a role in their financial empowerment, now and in the future.

This focus has evolved through the years to include providing financial education to Native communities, advocating to philanthropy for greater investment in Indian Country, and adding to the scholarship about Native justice, whether it’s environmental, social, or economic.

Through this evolving program, First Nations continues to provide Native communities, policy makers, and funders the research, tools, resources, and opportunities needed to invest in and advance Native economic justice.
