Building relationships and partnerships between UW-Extension and Native American communities and organizations.

The University of Wisconsin-Native American Task Force (NATF) builds relationships and partnerships between UW-Extension, Native American communities and organizations. The work of the NATF is to help UW-Extension staff work more effectively with Native American communities, build bridges between tribal and non-tribal communities, facilitate communications related to working with Native American audiences, and build working relationships between UW-Extension and the 1994 Land Grant Institutions.

The NATF is made up of Extension educators who work directly with or serve Wisconsin’s Native American communities and who are committed to strengthening the partnerships between tribes through educational outreach and respectful collaboration. NATF meets quarterly in different tribal communities across Wisconsin.

UPDATE:  “Working Effectively with Tribal Communities”, Lac du Flambeau WI    Due to the Covid-19 virus we are postponing this professional development workshop. Please check back for updates on when this professional development workshop will be held in person.

This professional development training program is designed to help UW Madison, Division of Extension, and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource professionals build more effective relationships with tribal communities.  This experiential program will build knowledge of tribal sovereignty, traditional knowledge, culture, and treaty rights to foster collaborations with Native Nations.  For more information contact Brian Gauthier, brian.gauthier@wisc.edu
