It’s solutions for the future, not only for Native tribes old-school stuff, yes, but it’s potentially the right but for society at large. We feel that unique Native stuff to use in dealing with many of the modern-day perspectives can help address some of this country’s pathologies of American society – the materialism, most pressing issues. the greed, the divisiveness, and the “win at all cost” That’s why our theme for this report is “Traditional attitude. And it holds valuable learnings for those Knowledge/Future Solutions.” And in the spirit who exploit the earth’s resources beyond what is of what’s old is new again, that line is a recycled, good, in so much as it fouls the air, the water and the land itself. It’s also fouling our very human nature.

And it’s a good recipe for Native communities themselves – communities that have had to overcome obstacles and challenges for their very survival stretching over hundreds of years. Modern education will continue to play a crucial role in the development of our communities, but I believe that education rooted in the traditional knowledge, values and wisdom of our people has to be the catalyst that will give us the greatest gain. At First Nations Development Institute, we have been striving for 37 years to help Native communities help themselves. We work to help make them more sustainable and self-reliant. We work to improve our communities and economies. We work to build assets for our people, whether they be land, human potential, cultural heritage or natural resources. We do this work through grant funding, technical assistance and training, guidance and encouragement. Taken together, these provide needed resources, skills, abilities and hope for the future. We believe that Native communities know how to solve their own challenges, and we just want to help them implement their homegrown solutions. It’s Indigenous Knowledge in action, and it’s brilliant. And being old school doesn’t mean there isn’t modern innovation taking place in Native communities. There certainly is! We see it every single day in our partners and grantees. They are addressing local issues and challenges with many innovative and exciting approaches, but built on a solid foundation of traditional Native sensibilities. This original knowledge and problem-solving ability is moving the needle in a positive direction in Indian communities. The country at large would do well to adopt some of the same sensibilities while also, finally, recognizing and supporting the original genius of Native America. Respectfully,
Benny Shendo, Jr. (Jemez Pueblo) Chairman Board of Directors First Nations Development Institute

They seem to be plowing the same ground better described in Patricia Nelson Limerick’s Legacy of Conquest, considered by many to be one of the leading tomes on the American West. Dr. Limerick writes: “Indians, once in contact with the course of white settlement, became helpless and passive, acted on and never acting. They were solely victims, utterly at the mercy of either white cruelty or, less likely, white benevolence.

NOURISHING NATIVE FOODS & HEALTH First Nations is dedicated to preserving Native foodways and improving the health of Indigenous communities. Under our Nourishing Native Foods and Health program area, First Nations has awarded 263 grants totaling more than $6.5 million to Native organizations dedicated to increasing food access and improving the health and nutrition of Native children and families since 2002. Projects supported under this focus area are intended to help tribes and Native communities build sustainable food systems such as community gardens, food banks, food pantries and/or other agricultural projects related to Native food- system control. Moreover, First Nations invests in community-based models looking at economic and policy mechanisms to build local economies, improve food access and encourage healthy lifestyles. Historically, there have been major disruptions in Native food systems, whether they came through federal policy that diminished Indian land bases and defined Native diets, or through systemic language loss that diminished tribal knowledge bases. First Nations’ goal is to recreate unity among food, diet, land, water, people and knowledge in order to grow strong and healthy Native communities and economies.
2017 Highlights '' Native Agriculture and Food Systems Initiative (NAFSI): With generous support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, First Nations awarded 38 grants to Native communities totaling $857,254 in order to conduct community food sovereignty assessments, promote economic and policy mechanisms to improve access to traditional and healthy foods, and promote traditional knowledge systems related to local food systems. First Nations also completed a year-long project to study food prices and access at retail outlets in Native communities. zz Agua Fund: With valuable renewed support from the Agua Fund, First Nations was able to provide financial and technical assistance to two Native communities in South Dakota and one Native community on the Navajo Nation. zz Newman’s Own Foundation: The foundation provided much-needed general operating support for the NAFSI program. zz Aetna Foundation: The Aetna Foundation awarded support for three communities in New Mexico to increase retail access to fresh and healthy food. zz Northwest Area Foundation: The Northwest Area Foundation generously supported First Nations in efforts to pilot a project with four different communities on utilizing food sovereignty assessment data to develop and cultivate market opportunities within their communities. 6 TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE FUTURE SOLUTIONS

INVESTING IN NATIVE YOUTH First Nations believes that Native youth are the key to building a brighter, more sustainable future. We support and invest in programs and initiatives that take a community approach to connecting youth to language, culture and tradition, and education opportunities. It is important that Native youth have a place where they can develop positive skills, challenge themselves, voice their opinions, and learn about their traditions. This creates healthy mental and spiritual growth and assures they will mature into innovative young leaders who can make important contributions toward helping to improve the communities in which they live.
2017 Highlights '' Native Youth and Culture Fund: In 2017 the Native Youth and Culture Fund (NYCF) was able to support tribes, Native organizations and communities by providing financial resources, training and technical assistance to culturally-based, Native American-led programs that build the skills and empowerment of Native American youth.

ACHIEVING NATIVE FINANCIAL EMPOWERMENT
First Nations works in partnership with Native American tribes and communities to assist them in designing and administering financial and investor education programs. Our projects focus on both personal financial management and more complex issues related to understanding financial markets and a variety of financial instruments for investing, borrowing and saving. The ultimate goal is strengthening American Indian economies to support healthy Native communities.
2017 Highlights '' Financial and Investor Education: With support from the FINRA Investor Education Foundation, we conducted 38 trainings, presentations or workshops on the topic of financial education and combating financial fraud. '' Native Financial Learning Network: In 2017 we founded the Native Financial Learning Network with support from the Northwest Area Foundation.

Show Me the Money! With more than 80 partnering communities, hundreds of events, and thousands of participants, First Nations’ $pending Frenzy workshop has become a super-sized hit. From Mashpee, Massachusetts, to Newhalen, Alaska, the interactive $pending Frenzy is offering top-notch youth financial education throughout Indian Country. And a super- sized hit calls for super-sized dollars – millions of them, to be exact. A key to the program’s success is the fact that youth participants get to put their hands on plenty of cold, hard cash – play money, that is. Created in 2011 in partnership with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI) and Shawn Spruce Consulting, the $pending Frenzy program was designed to assist tribal youth with managing lump- sum minor’s trust payments derived from gaming and other tribal revenues. Over the past few years, the $pending Frenzy has served a broader audience of Native youth, many of whom do not receive sizable payments on their 18th birthdays, but do share a common need to gain financial knowledge and independence. The workshop is unique because participants receive the actual amount of their pending payments in brick-sized bundles of play money. Then they take a stab at managing their windfall while going through a maze of financial decisions, challenges and obstacles – like paying bills, buying a car, and making spending choices during the interactive $pending Frenzy workshop. The unique play money has always been a huge part of the $pending Frenzy’s success. Being able to see, hold, and count out the money during (simulated) financial transactions has provided a learning opportunity, making abstract financial concepts more real. The original $pending Frenzy bills were printed by CBC Printing, a tribally-owned enterprise, and featured former EBCI Principal Chief Michell Hicks. Dubbed “Hicks Bucks,” the bills displayed a grinning headshot of Hicks on the front, with a picture of the historic EBCI Tribal Council House on the back. Since then, there have been many different versions of the $pending Frenzy play money, with each bill reflecting Native-led creativity, culture and history. When First Nations began producing $pending Frenzy workshops, it designed new play money with a portrait of prominent Native American chiefs on the front and a pre-Columbus map of America on the back. These new bills were an instant hit with Native youth from a wide range of tribes. Over time, many other community partners have also designed their own $pending Frenzy play money. These custom bills often feature tribal seals and local landmarks that add a personal touch to the $pending Frenzy events that these partners host. A workshop hosted on the Colville reservation featured money with the Colville tribal seal, and play money designed by Meskwaki tribal members featured unique Meskwaki art work. Recently our team redesigned the standard $pending Frenzy bills for a third time. The latest version features the legendary Jim Thorpe and provides a teachable moment for Native youth to learn about one of the world’s greatest athletes – it’s not “All About the Benjamins” anymore! With the look and feel of real money, these bills are bound to cause some confusion, but not for long – no watermark on this loot.

STRENGTHENING TRIBAL & COMMUNITY INSTITUTIONS First Nations’ Strengthening Tribal and Community Institutions program area focuses on partnering with Native American-led nonprofit organizations, grassroots community organizations and tribal government programs across Indian Country to strengthen their institutional assets and human capital, both of which are indispensable to the economies of Native communities. In this effort, we provide our partners with direct grant and scholarship support, technical assistance and training. This program also leads research efforts that examine patterns of philanthropic giving to Native American communities and causes as well as how Native Americans are viewed by different groups in contemporary American society. Overall, our Strengthening Tribal and Community Institutions program area exists to champion and nurture economically stronger and healthier Native communities for the long term.
2017 Highlights '' Native Arts Initiative (NAI): First Nations continued to stimulate the long-term perpetuation, proliferation and revitalization of traditional artistic and cultural assets in Native communities across three regions (Upper Midwest, Southwest and Pacific Northwest) with generous support from Margaret A. Cargill Philanthropies and the Thomas P. Waters Foundation. We awarded 15 Strengthening Native Arts Grants ranging from $18,000 to $32,000 each and 14 Professional Development Mini-Grants ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 each to Native American-led nonprofits, community grassroots organizations and tribal programs in our three-region service area. These entities received organizational and programmatic resources from First Nations, including direct grants and technical assistance and training, to empower them to increase control of assets across five asset groups – institutional assets, arts and cultural assets, human capital, social assets and economic assets – and ultimately facilitate the steady intergenerational transference of traditional artistic knowledge in their communities. '' Supporting Community Intellectuals: Launched in late 2017 with generous support from the Henry Luce Foundation, this project will support, reflect on and share learnings about Native American community leaders as demonstrated in four model Native communities. Community-based research, including conversations within these communities, will occur throughout 2018 and will inform our view of existing and needed support systems for knowledge holders and culture bearers in Native communities. '' Northern Great Plains Mapping Ecological Stewardship Opportunities Project (MESO): In 2017, First Nations continued to provide capacity-building via direct grants and networking opportunities to eight tribal departments of natural resources in the Northern Great Plains to support their efforts to strengthen their tribes’ ecological stewardship practices and sustainability. '' Increasing Foundation Openness: With the generous support of the Fund for Shared Insight, First Nations continued extensive research on private foundation investments in Native American communities and causes in 2017. This research will inform a series of publications in 2018 with the goals of sharing findings on these giving trends, advancing strategies to increase understanding of and openness to Native American communities and causes and, ultimately, encouraging more equitable investments in Native American communities and causes. 15 TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE FUTURE SOLUTIONS
'' Reclaiming Native Truth: A Project to Dispel America’s Myths and Misconceptions (RNT): The RNT project is a Native-driven movement that is working to positively transform the image of and narrative about Native Americans. In 2017, the RNT co-leaders, First Nations and Echo Hawk Consulting, conducted groundbreaking research on the prevailing narratives about Native Americans to increase our understanding of attitudes about Native Americans within the various groups that comprise American society and what messages could effectively change those attitudes. A National Stakeholders Meeting was held December 4-6, 2017, at the Gila River Indian Reservation in Chandler, Arizona, and brought together more than 120 Native and non-Native thought leaders, influential stakeholders, racial equity experts/advocates, decision makers and policymakers with the purpose of sharing the research findings and providing an opportunity for stakeholder input and guidance. '' Nurturing Native Givers and Giving & Catalyzing Community Giving Initiative: With support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and in coordination with our Native Youth and Culture Fund (NYCF), we organized and hosted a two-day sustainability fundraising training, The Power of We, in Denver, Colorado, on September 2017. Fundraising expert Kim Klein and leaders from five national Native-led nonprofits worked with 56 individuals representing our Native Giving cohort, NYCF grantees, NAFSI grantees, and NAI professional development grantees to build their fundraising capacity and facilitate both peer mentoring and peer-networking opportunities. We also positioned five individuals from our Native Giving cohort to become certified grantwriters from the American Grant Writers’ Association, expanding their knowledge and skills in grantwriting. '' U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Office of Native American Programs (ONAP): In 2017, First Nations provided three large classroom-style trainings to 36 Tribally Designated Housing Entities (TDHEs) and tribal housing departments located in California, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington on the topic of mixed-income development to build these entities’ capacity to address a wider array of housing needs at a variety of income levels. We also supported direct on-site technical assistance to five tribal housing authorities and departments on self- monitoring activities and renewable energy tax credits to build their capacity to evaluate and manage their housing activities and strategically plan for the future.

ADVANCING HOUSEHOLD & COMMUNITY ASSET-BUILDING STRATEGIES First Nations works with national and local partners to identify and implement household and community asset-building strategies that empower Native people. Working with community partners in tribal colleges and community development financial institutions (CDFIs), we share ideas through peer learning and we finance program development through our grantmaking program. Working with our national and regional partners, we have helped share information about household asset-building programs such as Individual Development Accounts, Children’s Savings Accounts, and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance sites. We also conduct research on issues related to predatory lending in Native communities and work to raise awareness of this problem. First Nations’ programs help move families and communities toward financial security.
2017 Highlights '' Children’s Savings Accounts: In partnership with the Oklahoma Native Assets Coalition (ONAC), we helped open the 500th ONAC-funded Children’s Savings Account (CSA) for Native youth in Oklahoma. Supported by a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, ONAC worked with a coalition of 19 tribal and Native nonprofit partners to accomplish this milestone. '' Native Family Empowerment Program: Funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Native Family Empowerment Program assisted two tribal colleges, Northwest Indian College and Chief Dull Knife College, in providing “bundled services” to their students who are also the parents of young children. These services for students and their children included financial education, asset-building savings accounts, free tax preparation, and assistance finding summer employment. In the final year of the grant, our partners developed Children’s Savings Account programs and scaled up their Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) programs, among other projects. '' Financial Inclusion: First Nations worked with Prosperity Now (formerly the Corporation for Enterprise Development) in 2017 to support seven grantees in five states (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Minnesota and Montana) to advocate for policies that rein in predatory lending and abusive debt-collection practices, increase access to safe and affordable financial services and products, expand financial education, and encourage savings, among other financial security policy ideas. Funded by the Northwest Area Foundation, the project was designed to advance state and tribal policies that increase financial inclusion and security among low-income communities, Native American communities and communities of color. The project wrapped up in 2017, and successfully helped build a foundation for lasting financial security in multiple low-income communities, including Native communities.
2017 Publication '' Research Note: The Economic Impact of Tribal Colleges in the Northwest Area Foundation Region. This report highlights that tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) contribute significantly to both short- and long-term economic development in reservation-based Native communities.
