We Are Still Here, the Alliance for Early Success Native Learning Project, was established to address knowledge gaps at the Alliance and in the broader Alliance network about Native history, governance, culture, and community. We Are Still Here builds a shared foundational cultural understanding to support our capacity as advocates to be in authentic relationship with Native leaders and communities.
