Organization

NDN Collective

An Indigenous-led national organization based in Rapid City, South Dakota — organizing, grantmaking, advocacy, and direct-action work across LANDBACK, climate justice, and Indigenous self-determination. Founded and led by Nick Tilsen (Oglala Lakota); the institutional anchor of the contemporary LANDBACK movement in the US.

What they do

NDN Collective is a multi-program Indigenous-led organization. The LANDBACK campaign (returning land and decision-making authority to Indigenous nations) is the most-visible piece, but the organization also runs grantmaking and direct-investment funds for Indigenous-led organizations, climate-justice and pipeline-resistance work, the NDN Action Fund (a 501(c)(4) for political advocacy), and a range of capacity-building programs. Founded and led by Nick Tilsen (Oglala Lakota), based in Rapid City, South Dakota — just north of [[pine-ridge]].

Why it’s listed

Indigenous food sovereignty, Indigenous land-back, and Indigenous-led climate work are upstream conditions for almost every substrate question the directory cares about. NDN Collective is one of the largest and most-organized national institutions doing that work — the network funding and amplifying many of the smaller Indigenous-led groups across North America. The directory lists [[tanka-bar]] and [[sogorea-te-land-trust]] on the operational side; NDN Collective is the political-organizing and funding layer those operations move inside of.
