NNI receives second Bush Foundation grant
In June, the Bush Foundation awarded $630,500 to
the Native Nations Institute to continue partnership activities with the
Foundation to support the self-determination of the 23 Native nations that
share the same geography as Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
Last year, NNI received a grant of $399,000 that
established the partnership.
According to Joan Timeche, NNI executive director, "NNI will organize and host seminars, facilitate governance
assessments, and continue to assist the Bush Foundation in creating a
Native Nations Rebuilders program for all 23 nations."
NNI was founded in 2001 by the University of Arizona and Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation. NNI also works collaboratively with the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development.
