The Turtle Island Community Resilience Network

Weaving Indigenous Futures Through Collaborative Strength

The Turtle Island Community Resilience Network (TIC-RN) is a dynamic ecosystem of relationships that connects Indigenous nations, BIPOC entrepreneurs, clean energy advocates, and food sovereignty leaders with essential resources while maintaining Native leadership at every decision point.

This cross-disciplinary coalition brings together tribal initiatives, solar developers, permaculturists, legal experts, policy advisors, impact investors, and philanthropic groups to create powerful collaborations across the Northeast region of the United States.

How The Network Works

Through our community, we:

  • Foster meaningful collaboration across sectors that respects Indigenous knowledge and priorities
  • Create shared tools, co-learning spaces, and collective problem-solving opportunities
  • Connect tribal nations with peer learning groups, business mentors, and funding partners
  • Maintain Native leadership in all decision-making processes
  • Build relationships between impact investors, philanthropic groups, and support organizations
  • Provide holistic support including legal, policy, and environmental expertise

By weaving together these diverse partners, we strengthen our collective capacity to address complex challenges facing Native communities while building pathways to economic sovereignty and climate resilience.
