For thousands of years, Native peoples have stewarded our lands and waters using sophisticated systems that blend science and culture, guided by values of respect, reciprocity, and relationship. Today, many Western institutions are beginning to recognize that the environmental, political, and economic crises we face stem from extractive practices that disconnect us from the land, our communities, and our humanity—causing harm to both people and ecosystems.

​

To create meaningful solutions, Native and non-Native communities must work together, drawing from time-tested Indigenous strategies to address these challenges. However, true collaboration requires rebuilding trust, setting healthy boundaries, and fostering mutual understanding.

​

At Redbud Resource Group, we bridge this gap by working with both Native and non-Native institutions. We support Native communities in building capacity within a system that has historically underserved them, while also guiding organizations in developing strong, ethical tribal relations strategies. Through tribal capacity-building programs, tribal relations trainings, and strategic planning tools, we equip both communities and institutions with the knowledge and skills needed to build lasting, respectful partnerships.
