Later this week, with Omniciye-like intiatives, First Nations will hold their L.E.A.D. Institute at the Sandia Resort and Casino in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In being held for the 16th time, the event brings together conversations around sovereignty, food security, and economic development
As examples, training tracks include:
* The Big Picture: Movements and Trends that Impact Tribal Economies
* The Community Lens: What’s Working in Tribal Communities
* Bringing Families into Focus: Asset Building Starts with Individuals and Families
It particularly supports nonprofit professionals, individuals interested in launching or expanding organizations, and those interested in Native food sovereignty or economic development
Also, Seventh Generation Fund recently convened its second annual fundraiser, with a subsequent Pathways to Partnership workshop with its Board of Directors. Although it’s after-the-fact, you can at least catch up with their program areas and small grant programs.
Finally, on a more local note, although I haven’t been able to catch it, we apparently have the Berenstein Bears in Lakota on SD Public Broadcasting (Digital 3). Anyone seen this yet?
Happy surfing,
