Tribal and Direct Services Native Know-How Seminar

NNI's Tribal & Direct Services Team facilitating a NKH Seminar in 2024

The NKH Experience

The Native Know-How (NKH) Seminar offers resources, insights and perspectives from Native nations across the United States and draws from the personal experience and knowledge of the educators on the Native Nations Institute’s team – a veteran group of Indigenous professionals that have collectively worked with more than 130 tribes.

Join this team of seasoned mentors to learn how your organization can work successfully with tribal communities and advance your relationship with Native peoples and governments in your service area.

“The sessions reminded me to show humility, to educate myself and ask questions about how each tribe prefers to operate. For example, our team is working with different tribal councils on how they want to handle requesting local data for health and education evaluations, and this process looks different across tribes. We will go back to the tribes to interpret and contextualize the data properly, focusing on community assets and how we can work towards long-term tribal goals."
