NDN Collective Stories

Nick Tilsen and Gaby Strong talk about NDN Collective's vision to redefine wealth on Indigenous terms with a $50million community trust fund while calling up philanthropy to take more bold action to give hoarded wealth back to Black and Indigenous people.

NDN Collective and Nexus Community Partners share statement on collective liberation and closing the wealth gap. – "This grant is a step in the right direction – it’s the casting of a single stone in the pond, and it will stir up the waters a little."

NDN Collective selected as one of two organizations to receive the award. For the past three years, NDN Collective has redistributed funds to Indigenous communities throughout Turtle Island, issuing $12 million in grants last year.

Over $7million will be distributed to 92 Tribal, First Nations, Inuit, Metis and Indigenous-led nonprofit organizations across Turtle Island in their community efforts to defend, develop and decolonize

“A not guilty verdict in the Rittenhouse trial shows who this country’s judicial system is still prioritizing and protecting - white men. The fact that somebody can show up to protests armed with an AR-15, shoot and kill people, and then get off with a not guilty verdict, is horrific."
