Economic Stewardship

Through targeted research, training, investor networks, and corporate and international engagement, Tallgrass Institute forwards Indigenous solutions to market challenges and macro-economic issues by leading with Indigenous Peoples’ self-determination and fostering equitable partnerships and practices. We aim to redefine the private sector’s role as one that respects Indigenous Peoples’ rights, lands, and economic priorities.
