Welcome

The goal of the Tribal Leadership Initiative (TLI) is to strengthen political, economic, and educational structures during a time of unprecedented self-determination across Native nations, and to develop and support leaders. The Initiative is central to Native nation building and comprises a multi-component program dedicated to expanding the capacities of Indigenous communities by promoting:

  • effective local self-governance
  • economic progress
  • social and cultural strengthening
  • leadership education and development

Our goal is to provide world-class leadership education, development, and outreach in support of practical self-determination. Our mission is to develop leaders.
