Native/Indigenous Organizations

Reclaiming Native Truth – A project to dispel and America’s Myths and Misconceptions. Reclaiming Native Truth is a national effort to foster cultural, social and policy change by empowering Native Americans to counter discrimination, invisibility and the dominant narratives that limit Native opportunity, access to justice, health and self-determination. Reclaiming Native Truth’s goal is to move hearts and minds toward greater respect, inclusion and social justice for Native Americans.

Illuminative – A Native woman-led racial and social justice organization dedicated to increasing the visibility of—and challenging the narrative about—Native peoples. Through building relationships with grassroots Native organizations, tribes, nonprofits, and allies, and supporting their organizing efforts, our work creates connective tissue and activation networks. We use grantmaking, capacity building, and high-impact and inclusive campaigns that are grounded in narrative and culture change strategies and informed by our original research.

Not Your Mascots is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing the misappropriation of Indigenous identity, imagery and culture using our educational and advocacy efforts to provide a more comprehensive understanding of Native people and the damage done to our youth and communities through the misrepresentation and mockery of our identities and culture through mascots, stereotypes and cultural appropriation.

Red Pop! News We celebrate the brilliance of Indigenous creativity across generations. From the wisdom of our elders to the fire of our youth, Indigenous people have been a part of pop culture since before it had a name, but our contributions and achievements have too often been erased, ignored, stolen, and misappropriated.

Unsettling America-Decolonization in Theory & Practice is an emerging decentralized network of autonomous groups and individuals dedicated to mental and territorial decolonization throughout Turtle Island and the “Americas.”

Native Arts and Cultures Foundation is a Native-led, philanthropic organization dedicated exclusively to the perpetuation of American Indian, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian arts and cultures.

The Society of Indian Psychologists Native American and Alaska Native professionals advocating for Native mental health by bringing attention to issues influencing Native mental health and psychology today.
