About this event

The Rebuilding Native Nations (RNN) Online Course examines critical governance and development challenges facing Native nations and surveys Native nation-rebuilding efforts across Indigenous and Indian Country. Sharing lessons learned from more than two decades of community-based research by Native Nations Institute and its sister organization the Harvard Project, it explores what is working, what isn't and why as Native nations work to reclaim control over their own affairs and create vibrant futures of their own design. Our professional development-focused curriculum is self-paced and registrants are given one month to complete the coursework.

Native nation building is the process by which a Native nation strengthens its own capacity for effective and culturally relevant self-government and for self-determined and sustainable community development.

Nation building involves building institutions of self-government that are culturally appropriate to the nation and that are effective in addressing the nation’s challenges. It involves developing the nation's capacity to make timely, strategically informed decisions about its affairs and to implement those decisions. It involves a comprehensive effort to rebuild societies that work. In other words, a nation-building approach understands that tribes are not merely interest groups, but governing nations confronting classic problems of human societies.
