The Native American Project is the heart of the Center for Community Change’s efforts to build grassroots leadership, organizational capacity, and a more unified voice among Native Americans for social and economic justice.
Native Americans are often left out of race and class analyses in this country. Yet, Native Americans are among the key constituencies whose leadership is critical to creating lasting social change in the nation. That is why the Native American Project has a long-term commitment to building Native American leadership, upholding Native American rights, and elevating the issues that matter most to Indian communities.
The Native American Project combines grassroots community organizing with coalition building, state and national policy work, strategic media work, and research. The Native American Project provides Indian-led organizations with the tools, resources, and alliances needed to protect the rights of Indian people and to build strong, sustainable communities.
The Native American Project works closely with a wide range of well-established and influential Native American organizations, such as: the Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians; the American Indian Housing and Community Development Corporation; the Southern California Indian Center; The Teton Coalition; and, a number of American Indian tribal colleges and universities.
Through these relationships, the Native American Project seeks to strengthen Indian-led organizing, and to advance public policies and programs that benefit Native Americans. The Native American Project utilizes two broad approaches toward these ends.
