Native American Resources

"Traditional knowledge enables us to see our place and our responsibility within the movement of history as it is experienced by the community"
-- Vine Deloria, 2001
Power and Place: Indian Education in America

The National Resilience Resource Center is honored to present the Native American Resources section of the NRRC website. We hope the materials are helpful. We invite you to return as we continue to add items. Our goal is to capture the indigenous voices that speak to the connection between culture and resilience. Therefore, we are honored to present the premier articles on "cultural resilience" and information about related NRRC trainings. Cultural Resilience emerged out of the work of many individuals. We are eternally grateful to all of our colleagues and friends who crossed our path in this journey.
