About Tallgrass Institute
Tallgrass Institute is a Center for Indigenous Economic Stewardship. We bridge Indigenous leadership and knowledge with investor strategies to advance Indigenous Peoples' self-determination and wellbeing. By activating investor and economic ecosystems, we work to redefine the private sector’s role as one that respects Indigenous Peoples’ human rights, lands, and economic priorities. Tallgrass Institute has four areas of programming:
Corporate Engagement & International Advocacy - We work directly with Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous organizations to design corporate engagement strategies. In addition, we work within the global Indigenous Peoples rights movement to advocate to investors, international mechanisms, and standard-setting bodies to mainstream respect for Indigenous Peoples’ rights.
Training - We provide dynamic training on market-based strategies to Indigenous Peoples in line with their self-determined priorities.
Research - Our research leads with Indigenous Peoples' enterprise visions, advances respect for Indigenous Peoples’ rights in business operations, and amplifies Indigenous-led solutions to systemic economic exclusion.
Networks - We cultivate collaborative networks to activate investor and economic ecosystems aligned with Indigenous Peoples’ rights and wellbeing.
Our Values: Tallgrass Institute is a thought leader in the field and operates to amplify Indigenous self-determination with excellence in work and creativity in design. We employ a holistic, generational view which Indigenous Peoples have cultivated for centuries in which all things – people, animals, the landscape, and built environments – are intrinsically connected. Centering these relationships, Tallgrass is committed to sustainability, equity, respect, and collaboration.
