About the Training
Many non-Natives work in various capacities in Indian Country- from tribal administrators to front line workers to urban Indian center employees. In addition, other non-Natives work in other agencies that serve or collaborate with Indian Country. Learning by doing is the way most allies become allies.
This interactive training will be facilitated by a team of NWI trainers and is intended for non-Natives and Natives who want to learn more about being an ally in Indian Country. The training will include large and small group discussions, opportunities for reflection and assessment, and tools to take back to the workplace. The goal of the training is to better help you to help the tribe/organization you are working for.
