IllumiNative Archives - Native Organizers Alliance

Until now, Native people have never been asked about what issues matter to us. The Indigenous Futures Survey centers Native voices and provides an opportunity for all Native peoples to be a part of shaping the future. Native Organizers Alliance has partnered with IllumiNative and Aspen Institute’s Center for Native American Youth to conduct the largest survey of Native people ever conducted.

The survey will explore the impact of Covid-19 on Native peoples, their families and community, issue priorities for the upcoming election, how racism and discrimination impact Native peoples’ lives and visions for the future of Indian Country. Take the 10-minute survey now and become eligible to win raffle prizes like Nike N7 shoes, beaded jewelry, original artwork, and gift cards to your favorite Native brands. Your voice matters.

The results of the survey will help inform advocacy priorities for tribal leaders, policymakers, philanthropy as well as help to make visible the voices, needs, and issues of Native peoples to the media and American public in a critically important time in this country.

The 2020 Indigenous Futures Survey has been completed. Download the report today and watch for updates for the 2021 survey coming soon!
