Honoring Tribal Sovereignty

We recognize and honor Native people and their unwavering commitment to ensuring that all people thrive. Since time immemorial, Native people have upheld their traditions and cultures while making innovative contributions for a sustainable future. We commit to a future grounded in respect for the sovereign rights of Indigenous peoples.

We partner with organizations that honor Tribal Sovereignty. This means Indigenous communities are leading the decisions and charting their own culturally appropriate methods toward healthy early development outcomes for Indigenous children.

Our investments help support:

• Indigenous communities teaching children their Native languages, important for passing down history, values, beliefs and distinctive worldviews.
• The full ecosystem that shapes families’ lives, including Native leadership programs, employment equity and businesses owned and operated by Indigenous entrepreneurs.
• Indigenous-led organizations providing access to running water and clean energy and supporting environmental justice.
