Great ideas should be shared.

ndgenius connects and supports people across tribal nations to build systems that work — from stronger meetings to stronger nations.

We provide the infrastructure for peer-to-peer learning and professional development - where Indigenous consultants build their practices, Native-led organizations enhance member services, and tribal leaders (by title or actions) thrive through systematic support and networks.

Our Mission:

To support Indigenous-led capacity-building through collaborative infrastructure.

Our Vision:

Thriving, interconnected tribal nations.

Our leadership

About Our Founder

ndgenius was founded by Basla Andolsun, an instructional systems designer with a background in sociology (BS, MS) who has been working with tribal nations since 2010. She founded ndgenius in 2019 with the vision of creating collaborative infrastructure for tribal capacity-building, paused during the COVID-19 pandemic, and relaunched in 2024 with a commitment to transitioning to Native ownership and leadership as the platform establishes proof of concept.  If you're interested in partnership, teaching, or leadership opportunities, please reach out.

Our Approach
We partner with Native consultants, firms, and organizations who share our values of capacity-building, collaboration, and mutual uplift. Our instructors and partners bring decades of expertise across tribal governance, finance, administration, economic development, and leadership.
