Pathways We Create
At Indigenous North Star Collective, our work begins with a question:
What is your North Star?
For us, the Navajo North Star (Nahookos Biko’) is more than a guiding light. It is a teaching about direction, purpose, and responsibility. Our work is to guide people, organizations, and communities to reconnect to their own North Star: a shared vision that brings alignment, trust, and sustainability for future generations.
Too often, groups lose direction, schools misaligned with their purpose, nonprofits struggling with conflict, tribal governments pulled in too many directions, or companies entering tribal communities without understanding. Our purpose is to guide clarity, foster growth, and support self-determination by strengthening relationships and building the structures needed to thrive.
This is more than training. It’s about creating pathways that honor our people, our culture, and our future.
FEATURED WORKSHOPS & TRAININGS
1.
Creating a Shared Vision
The foundation for alignment and clarity. We guide your team through a process of defining values, purpose, and direction together, creating momentum and accountability.
2.
Building Strong Teams & Trust
Conflict, miscommunication, and lack of trust hold organizations back. This training strengthens relationships, accountability, and collaboration through dialogue and interactive skill-building.
3.
Building Kinship Across Cultures
We move beyond surface-level “cultural awareness” to real respect, kinship, and partnership. This training equips organizations to work across cultures with humility and relational accountability.
4.
Strategic Growth & Organizational Foundations
For new or growing organizations, we provide the scaffolding for long-term sustainability: bylaws, policies and procedures, governance models, and growth frameworks.
Tailored Experiences
Every organization is unique its people, culture, and goals. That’s why our workshops are designed with you, not for you. We start by listening to what matters most: your objectives, the skills your team wants to strengthen, and the kind of impact you hope to make.
Whether it’s leadership, communication, cultural responsiveness, or strategic planning, each session is interactive, grounded in values, and focused on real-world application.
Investing in professional development means investing in your people and when people grow, organizations thrive. Together, we’ll build the trust, skills, and shared direction your team needs to move forward with purpose.
