Indigenous Governance Database

SPOTLIGHT: The Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development's "Honoring Nations" Program

Established in 1998 by the Harvard Project on American Indian Economic Development, the "Honoring Contributions in the Governance of American Indian Nations" (known as "Honoring Nations") awards program identifies, celebrates, and shares stories of outstanding, Indigenous governance programs, highlights tribal government successes, and enables Native nation rebuilders to learn from each other and expand their governance capacities. The high public visibility and news coverage of "Honoring Nations" also permit non-Native policymakers, the media, and the general public to witness what Native nations are actually doing in their drive for self-determination.

The Indigenous Governance Database features more than 100 selected presentations and Q&A sessions from several Honoring Nations symposia and awards events convened over a seven-year period (2002-2009). Below is a comprehensive list:
