“We lost a warrior, an AIM leader, an elder, and a revolutionary. Clyde was a fearless leader who dodged bullets, sat jail time, marched in streets and built up Native communities. His fierceness in confronting racism and oppression have changed the conditions in which we organize and live in today."

NDN Collective and Nexus Community Partners share statement on collective liberation and closing the wealth gap. – "This grant is a step in the right direction – it’s the casting of a single stone in the pond, and it will stir up the waters a little."

NDN Collective selected as one of two organizations to receive the award. For the past three years, NDN Collective has redistributed funds to Indigenous communities throughout Turtle Island, issuing $12 million in grants last year.

Applications open for the Vice President position though January 1, 2022. Other open positions can be found at https://ndncollective.org/careers/.
