Sovereignty matters.
After decades of being shut out from resources that help communities achieve flourishing economies, societies, and educational opportunities, Native Nations are now undergoing a remarkable renaissance.
This resurgence is powered by a movement to exercise rights to self-determination on matters like government structure, natural resource management, economic development, health care, and social service provision.
The Project on Indigenous Governance at the Harvard Kennedy School is working alongside these Nations to deepen this movement by equipping Indigenous peoples with the tools they need to govern effectively and to strengthen their economic, social, and cultural fabrics.
