Native governance center
AD2 MN PUBLIC SERVICE 2025
1st Place Ad2 National Public Service Competition
Our campaign, “The Future is Native” aimed to shift perceptions of Native people and governments, not as something frozen in history, but as a living, evolving force. Native people are here today, shaping policies, leading communities, and governing their nations with strength and resilience. Our campaign worked to challenge Native stereotypes, defend sovereignty, and highlight NGC’s powerful impact.
Our campaign was created with Ad 2 Minnesota as pro bono work. Every year Ad 2 Minnesota created a pubic service campaign for one nonprofit. We donated over 132k dollars in year-end value and 567 working hours. Our campaign not only gained 4 million impressions and over 1k Meta followers gained in less than a month, it created a real impact in the way that Native people are represented in media.
