"NDN has had to cut our budget by nearly half and has had to reduce the size of our staff by 40. And that's been hard."
"Federal responsibility to treaty obligations, trust responsibility. All those things are at immediate imminent risk right now because of what is happening."
"NDN has been one of the most well-resourced organizations in Indian Country," Garriott explained, "and has built up a staff and an infrastructure that probably Indian Country has never seen before."
NDN Collective reduced its budget nearly by half and cut about 40 percent of its staff, forcing difficult operational changes. Leadership pledged full transparency while addressing the impacts on federal treaty and trust obligations that are now at imminent risk. Founded in 2018, NDN Collective provided grants, loans, grassroots organizing support, narrative change, and political education and backed the international Land Back movement. The organization had been among the most well-resourced in Indian Country, building unprecedented staff and infrastructure. Leadership framed the reductions within broader declines in philanthropic funding while asserting commitment to continue core work.
