Partnering for Stronger Communities and Healthier Ecosystems.
Building Capacity, Growing Together.
​​There is incredible momentum to uplift Indigenous knowledge as a vital key to solving today’s challenges—from improving human and ecological health to reconnecting with our shared humanity. At Redbud, we know that Native communities hold the deep knowledge, skills, and insights needed to shape their own narratives and advocate for their political, legal, and social priorities.
​
However, the biggest barrier to meaningful partnerships is often building capacity—on both sides. That’s why we provide training and support to both Tribal and non-Tribal communities, ensuring that we grow together. By strengthening our collective ability to collaborate, we can restore balance to our ecosystems, uplift Indigenous leadership, and create lasting, impactful change.
Our Offerings.
Tribal Relations Trainings and Resources
Redbud’s Tribal Relations Workshops give individuals and teams the confidence, context, and strategies needed to form effective, respectful partnerships with Tribes. Designed for government agencies, parks, museums, school districts, and anyone committed to environmental and cultural stewardship, these workshops provide practical tools to navigate cross-cultural collaboration with ease.
​
By removing uncertainty and fostering mutual understanding, we create space for shared strategies and strengths—helping us work together toward our common goals and a healthier future for all.
Tribal Capacity Building and Leadership Programs
Tribes know all too well the exhaustion of being suddenly inundated with emails, calls, and requests now that tribal relations have become a priority. After generations of being ignored, we are now being called to reclaim our rightful roles as stewards and leaders of our ancestral homelands and communities.
​
Now more than ever, we must lean on one another—sharing expertise, resources, and cultural knowledge to protect our families and empower the next generation of Native leaders. To support this growth, Redbud provides hands-on, culturally centered leadership programs designed specifically for Tribal leaders working tirelessly to strengthen their communities in ways our ancestors would be proud of.

Educator Resources and Workshops
For centuries, the U.S. education system has been a battleground for cultural erasure and forced assimilation of Native peoples. Yet, educators have a powerful opportunity to shift this narrative—expanding students’ understanding of the land they live on by integrating accurate Native history, science, and voices into the classroom.
To support this work, we offer ready-to-teach, standards-based curricula in History, ELA, Ethnic Studies, and Science, designed to bring Native perspectives into everyday learning. Our teacher trainings provide hands-on guidance and practical tools to help educators grow in their practice, ensuring that all students feel empowered to care for the land and communities they call home.
