Language & Learning Resource for Non-Indigenous People

The Language & Learning Resource for Non-Indigenous People, created by Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP), emphasizes that language carries power and shapes how we engage with Indigenous communities. This resource introduces key terms, concepts, and evolving language to help non-Indigenous people begin their learning journey. While not a one-size-fits-all guide, it serves as an important entry point for those looking to work respectfully with Indigenous Peoples, Tribal Nations, and Indigenous-led organizations—especially within the philanthropic sector.
