This week I’ll be participating in another session with this Navajo startup called Change Labs based in Tuba City, Arizona. Change Labs is a Native-led and Native-controlled 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based on the Navajo and Hopi nations. They foster the creation of successful Native American small businesses that provide a social benefit to tribal communities.

Tribal America has no deficit of challenges: a lack of infrastructure, rampant and persistent poverty, and under-performing public schools. Despite our sovereignty, we remain dependent on outside forces to address these problems by providing needed jobs, sustaining our governance, and driving our economies. Change Labs was created to empower Native-owned small businesses operating within our communities, so we can begin to take steps toward economic self-sustainability.

Need help bringing ideas to fruition?
