7th Generation Community Services

Description

7 th Generation Community Services Corporation (7 th Generation) is a nonprofit organization founded by Native American business owners who now desire to use their expertise and experience helping Native American communities and individuals with their economic growth and expansion opportunities. 7th Generation's philosophy, which is based on the traditional belief (of many tribes) that everything we do or say will continue to have an effect for seven generations, is reflected in our mission to work collaboratively with Native Americans to achieve their self-determined goals for economic and community growth.

To meet this mission 7 th Generation works in collaboration with Native American tribes and organizations to increase opportunities for Personal Professional Development and Community Development. We hope to create a continuum of services that considers the range of individual capabilities and specific needs of the tribes we are working with. There are 562 federally recognized Indian tribes and Alaskan Native entities with a total tribal enrollment of over 1,800,000 in the United States today. This group, according to U.S. Census data, makes up the largest ethnic group living at the bottom of our nation's economic ladder.
