On Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Day of 2018, the NDN Collective<\/a> launched\u00a0 as a new organization dedicated to building Indigenous power. Since that day, we have hit the ground running, setting out on a visionary journey to tear down systems of oppression, to fight for climate justice, to close the education inequality gap, to challenge white supremacy within philanthropy, and invest into Indigenous self-determination.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As we reflect upon our first year as an organization, it\u2019s important to also acknowledge the groundwork that supported our vision and enabled us to make it this far. While NDN Collective publicly and officially launched one year ago<\/a>, the body of work taking place right now was actually years in the making. The very concept of the NDN Collective, its theory of change and its proposition for radical transformation was born out of the roots of the work taking place in my home community on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

NDN Collective Origins<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From 2007 to 2018, I had the opportunity to help build the groundbreaking Thunder Valley Community Development Corporation<\/a> (TVCDC). This non-profit organization created inspiration on Pine Ridge and created an ecosystem of related programs ranging from Sustainable Housing, Food Sovereignty, Youth Development, Lakota Language Revitalization, Social Enterprise and Workforce Development, to name a few. Thunder Valley CDC was the first organization of its kind in the U.S., where Indigenous people were actively shaping their own reality, sustainably, culturally, and in close relationship with community.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The innovative work of Thunder Valley CDC was soon being recognized, and our story was lifted up and highlighted around the country.\u00a0 We started getting calls from Tribes and Indigenous communities from all over. Over a three-year window, from 2015 to 2018, we were contacted by 43 different Tribes and 27 Native non-profits, coming from 70 different Indigenous Nations throughout North America. They all wanted to do similar things that Thunder Valley CDC was doing, but within the context of their own tribes, their own climate, and the spirit of their homelands. I would tell other Indigenous leaders, \u201cFirst of all, we are barely pulling this off, but I am willing to share what we are learning if you come here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Indigenous communities and leaders started coming to Pine Ridge and visiting Thunder Valley CDC.\u00a0 During their visits, we openly shared with them the ups and downs, and the ebb and flow of what we were doing. I would hear story after story from these visitors about different things happening in their respective communities that called for similar solutions, and I was drawn to do something. I started to think about and explore what it would take to build an ecosystem of support to help other communities implement their visions while continuing to build a movement for radical change in Indigenous communities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I went to the drawing board and started looking at the data.\u00a0 I realized that not only was there less than 0.4% of philanthropy going to Indigenous communities, but that funding to Indigenous communities was actually on a decline. Resources for Indigenous people remain critical to moving the dial in our communities.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This disparity in investment into Indigenous communities was outrageous to me, because as I realized this, the movement in Standing Rock was also happening at that very moment– a movement that I and many people from my region of the Oceti Sakowin were deeply involved in participating in and shaping. We were interrupting the narrative, our people and our movement was being recognized by the masses, and we were clearly centerstage at some of the most important issues facing humanity today, like climate, justice and equity.\u00a0 But still, and even amidst all the attention to the historic moment in Standing Rock, our movement continued to be under-funded and our communities under-invested in.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To me, that was it. I recognized that it was time to create something new, but it was important that we did it in such a way that shifted the power dynamics that existed. From 2017 to 2018, I reached out to over 50 different Indigenous organizations and leaders, to over 30 philanthropic partners and begin creating and envisioning a new ecosystem. This idea eventually became the NDN Collective, whose mission<\/a> is to \u201cBuild the Collective Power of Indigenous Peoples, communities and Nations to exercise our inherent right to self-determination, while fostering a world that is built on a foundation of justice and equity for all people and the planet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I share this very abbreviated version of this history because every society and organization has an origin story, and these origin stories are not only critical to our identity, but sharing them is a fundamental part of being Indigenous, as we must always honor where we come from.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The NDN Collective is an organization that was created by Indigenous people, for Indigenous people. It was created out of principals of organizing and justice. It grew from a directly impacted community and out of the lived experience of those of us who have been in the trenches doing the work and making sacrifices to improve the lives of our people and protect Mother Earth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

NDN Collective: ONe Year In Review<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Throughout this past year we have grown from three staff to 15, and in 2020 we will breach 20 staff on the NDN Collective team<\/a>. This growth is important because we have to ensure that our organization\u2019s capacity keeps up with the appetite of the vision and the needs of our movement. In our first year, we have had the opportunity to support several different Indigenous-led initiatives and actions related to Indigenous movement-building.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We have engaged as a plaintiff on a lawsuit suing the State of South Dakota for passage of the \u201cRiot Boosting Act,\u201d<\/a> which was an attempt to chill free speech and criminalize organizing against the Keystone XL pipeline.\u00a0 We sued, we won, and we protected our right to organize in protection of Mother Earth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We extend our gratitude to the ACLU of South Dakota<\/a> (who filed the lawsuit<\/a> on behalf of the NDN Collective and our partners), to other plaintiffs including the Indigenous Environmental Network<\/a>, Dakota Rural Action<\/a>, the Sierra Club <\/a>and others who all played important roles in this work.
