Tribal Education Departments National Assembly

Imagine an education system where every Indigenous child grows up empowered by the knowledge and culture of their ancestors, with resources that reflect the strengths of their community.

TEDNA believes that every Tribal nation has the right to define its own educational future. However, too many Tribal Education Departments face challenges in achieving these aspirations, often lacking the support, tools, and resources needed to create comprehensive, culturally relevant education systems.

This is where TEDNA steps in.

TEDNA is a 100% Native-led Nonprofit dedicated to supporting Tribal Education Departments. By providing technical assistance, advocacy, and partnerships, along with fostering relationships with government agencies, educational organizations, and Tribal nations, TEDNA equips these departments to reclaim sovereignty in education and develop their own pathways to success.

Our work empowers Indigenous communities to thrive, ensuring that their educational systems honor tradition, uplift future generations, and protect each tribe’s inherent right to self-determination.

But we can’t do it alone.

Your donation is a powerful step toward uplifting the next generation of Indigenous leaders, professionals, and changemakers. By supporting TEDNA, you become a part of this vital movement, ensuring that every Tribal Nation has the chance to build an educational system that reflects their culture, values, and vision for the future.
