In partnership with the [First Nations Development Institute](https://www.firstnations.org/) (“First Nations”), we bring three leading Indigenous economic justice leaders who will speak to their work and the challenges they face in a discussion-style format. Our panelists are: **Heather Fleming** (Navajo) is executive director of Change Labs, the only business incubator and accelerator on Navajo land. Fleming works with Hopi and Navajo (Diné) citizens to create a supportive business ecosystem for Native entrepreneurs. **Jaime Gloshay **(Navajo/White Mountain Apache/Kiowa) is Co-Director of Building and Impact at Native Women Lead, a group that supports and invests in Native Women in business. **Lakota Vogel** (Cheyenne River Sioux) is CEO of Four Bands Community Loan Fund, a community development financial institution (CDFI) in South Dakota. The CDFI she leads is redesigning lending to enable Native residents to build homes on trust lands. This webinar will explore: - What does economic justice in Indian Country look like? How do Native economic values differ from those typically espoused in US discourse? - How does ongoing colonialism constrain economic development? What levers are Native leaders using to build self-sufficiency and economic sovereignty? - What are some of the key components of a Native economic development ecosystem? How does one go about filling the gaps that exist? - What are some leading examples of successful Native-owned businesses? - What are the 5Cs of credit? Why does the traditional credit system fail to meet the needs of Native communities? What might an alternative look like? - What will it take to put trust lands to work for Native American benefit? Why are present remedies like “loan guarantees” inadequate? - What steps can nonprofits and philanthropy take to support Native leaders? Whether you’re a social movement activist, nonprofit leader, board member, or engaged in community-based organizing, this webinar will provide you with real-life examples and lessons learned that can inform your work in your own community. The moderator for this webinar is *NPQ* senior editor and economic justice program director **Steve Dubb**. Steve has worked with cooperatives and nonprofits for over two decades and has been both a student and practitioner in the field of community economic development.   You can send your questions to [editorinchief@npqmag.org](mailto:editorinchief@npqmag.org) to have them answered during the web event. **\*The recording and slides of this webinar will be available on the NPQ website 2-3 days after the live event. ** ### Register Here
