Twenty Years of Tradition: Celebrating Today and Tomorrow Together
Now in its 20th year, the National Tribal TANF Institute brings together Tribal TANF staff from across the country for a unique educational experience. Our 2025 theme, Twenty Years of Tradition: Celebrating Today and Tomorrow Together, will emphasize the importance of honoring tribal values, cultures and traditions while also embracing new ideas, practices and innovations to make our native communities stronger for future generations. We’ll also explore programs, opportunities and resources for tribal youth and young adults to help them transition into thriving adulthood.
