Treaty Talks NWT

Today, we're featuring our Nation Building Toolbox focused on Constitutions! Our toolboxes are online, mixed media, learning tools which can assist in meeting the needs of Indigenous leaders, allies, and decision makers. Assembled from the real-world experiences of hundreds of Native nations, the toolboxes serve as a central resource of information on how to implement and sustain best practices in community self-governance. They are hosted and curated by the Native Nations Institute (NNI) at the University of Arizona and the Project on Indigenous Governance and Development (Harvard Project) at Harvard University, and feature contributions of partners with valuable knowledge to share. Check it out here: https://sites.google.com/g.harvard.edu/constitutionstoolbox/constitutions

The self-guided toolboxes enable Nation Builders to explore, develop and manage their understanding of key functions of tribal, First Nation, and other Indigenous governance structures and strategies. The Toolboxes provide Nation Builders with learning activities and resources they can use to assist Indigenous communities in their drive for self-determination. The content is supplemented with case studies, lessons learned, and first-hand explanations by fellow decision makers who have tackled the challenges of strengthening their own communities.

We can’t tell you what will work for your community, but we do hope that having access through these toolboxes to the lessons from, and experiences of, other Native nations will provide you with ideas and useable starting points as you tackle your own community’s needs.
