About the Native Nations
Institute
for Leadership, Management, and Policy (NNI)
The Native Nations Institute
for Leadership, Management, and Policy (NNI) was founded in 2001 by the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation
and The University of Arizona as a
self-determination, self-governance, and development resource for Native
nations.
NNI’s mission is to assist
in the building of capable Native nations that can effectively pursue and
ultimately realize their own political, economic, and community development
objectives. This effort, which we call nation building, is the
central focus of NNI’s programs. NNI fulfills this mission by:
• providing Native
nations with comprehensive, professional training and development programs
(including executive
education and youth
entrepreneur and youth
governance training programs), designed specifically to meet the needs of
Indigenous leadership and management
• providing Native
nations and other policymakers with outstanding policy analysis and accessible
research on governance and development in Indian Country
• providing Native
nations and organizations distance-learning/multimedia educational resources
and tools on governance and development
• working with
Native nations and peoples on governance assessment and strategic and organizational
development.
NNI’s International Advisory Council,
composed of 17 Indigenous leaders from the United States and Canada, has played
an integral role in the organization’s development and growth. The council
provides advice and oversight on an ongoing basis and meets twice a year to
advise NNI and help set the organization’s strategic direction.
