“If we look at what Indigenous entrepreneurship looked like before White people came, it didn't look like Silicon Valley at all and it was rooted in reciprocity. What that translates into is how we measure success of business activity. Of course, we talk about the importance of making money, but our goal isn't to get people set up to make the most money possible, because we know that's not our traditional value. We do measure the things that are directly tied to our theory of change, and that is increasing human capital, increasing social capital, access to physical and financial capital, and increasing economic agency.” — Heather Fleming (Diné/Navajo) In the new issue of American Artscape, learn the story behind Change Labs, a Native-led nonprofit reshaping the landscape of entrepreneurship on tribal land in New Mexico & Arizona by supporting the advancement of artists, vendors and entrepreneurs within Native communities.

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), established in Congress in 1965, is an independent federal agency that is the largest funder of the arts and arts education in communities nationwide and a catalyst of public and private support for the arts. By advancing equitable opportunities for arts participation and practice, the NEA fosters and sustains an environment in which the arts benefit everyone in the United States. The NEA’s primary activities include grantmaking to nonprofit arts organizations, public arts agencies and organizations, colleges and universities, federally recognized tribal communities or tribes, and individual writers and translators. Grant applications are reviewed by panels of arts experts and individuals from across the country. All grants must be matched one-to-one by nonfederal sources, except for individual grants to writers and translators. NEA funding is appropriated by Congress annually. While the NEA’s primary activity includes grantmaking, it also is a national leader in the field and a convener on issues important to the arts community and people working at the intersections of arts and other fields such as health, community development, and education, among others. The NEA is an important resource for research on the value and the importance of the arts, and shares that information with stakeholders and the public.
