Philosophy on how we work with Tribal Nations:

• We recognize Tribal communities themselves are the source of cultural knowledge and legal authority through leaders, elders, and culture-bearers.

• We believe that Tribal communities should control the design and form of their laws and the enhancement of their governmental institutions.

• We believe that Tribal laws should be developed through a representative and inclusive community-based process.

• We commit to designing “do-it-yourself” tools that can be tailored for the needs of particular Tribal communities rather than a “one size fits all” approach.

• We commit to identifying and working with local consultants and those with expertise in the targeted communities.

• We commit to working with those organizations that are willing to be accountable to Tribal nations and that support our mission.

• We commit to making resources readily available in a variety of formats at the lowest cost possible.
