Leaning into their ongoing commitment to the strength and well-being of Indigenous communities, the MacArthur Foundation is introducing a new program on Native self-determination.
“Indigenous Peoples and their rights, land, and culture are part of the fabric of communities across our country and our world. And yet their perspectives and the issues that impact their daily lives are often overlooked,” John Palfrey, President of the MacArthur Foundation, said.
Palfrey reflected on the Foundation’s desire to approach this work with humility, respect, and accountability: “True and lasting impact requires more than just financial support; it demands deep, meaningful engagement with Native leaders and communities.”
