NDN Collective announces restructuring, layoffs amid shifting landscape
NDN Collective announced major organizational changes in response to what it described as an “unstable economic and political environment.” According to NDN Collective, the shifts include layoffs and reductions or eliminations of certain programs.
“Over the last seven years, NDN Collective has resourced an incredible network of Indigenous leaders, organizations, Nations, and businesses through our central lens of Defend, Develop, Decolonize,” the group said. “We recognize now that it is time to pivot our strategies to respond to the time we are in.”
According to NDN Collective, the decision to restructure was “heartbreaking,” noting that laid-off employees “are our relatives.” The organization said it remains committed to advancing the LANDBACK movement and building Indigenous power.
