Houselessness is a significant challenge for Indigenous Peoples as a direct result of systemic racism perpetuated by colonization, broken treaties, forced assimilation, and boarding schools. The longstanding implications of colonization, structural and institutional racism, and displacement have further exacerbated this crisis.  

In our aspiration to become a pro-Indigenous organization, Funders Together is honored to showcase our colleagues at NDN Collective to learn more about their work taking place in the realm of housing justice, Indigenous self-determination, rematriating grants, and community-led solutions. This session will address how NDN Collective is creating self-determination programs to aid healing from colonization, political violence, racist policies, and intergenerational trauma, helping people find purpose and stability. We will learn how NDN Foundation was formed to rematriate wealth and resources back to Indigenous hands, under Indigenous control, and get insight from organizers on the ground who continue to address gaps in city services and advocate for systematic change. 

“As Indigenous Peoples, we are not homeless, our land is our home. We are houseless.” - NDN Organizer
