mission
Established in 1987, the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy—a unit of the Office of the Vice
President for Research at The University of Arizona—sponsors policy-relevant, interdisciplinary
research and outreach linking scholarship and education with decision-making in the fields of environmental policy, immigration policy, and Indigenous nations policy.
The Native Nations Institute for Leadership, Management, and Policy (NNI), an administrative unit of the
Udall Center, was founded in 2001 by the Morris K. Udall Foundation (now Morris K. Udall and Stewart
L. Udall Foundation) and The University of Arizona and serves as a self-determination, governance,
and development resource for Indigenous nations.

vision and focus
The aim of the Udall Center and the Native Nations Institute is to continue
to expand access to educational excellence for our staff and contitutents; to
increase our achievements in research and scholarship; and to enrich our
community, state, and beyond through positive societal impacts.
Our work addresses four areas of emphasis in The University of Arizona’s
Five-Year Strategic Plan:
• climate, environmental, water, and energy sustainability
• Southwest, Native American, borderlands, and Latin American studies
• law, public policy, and entrepreneurship
• youth development programs
In this report we summarize our activities and accomplishments in these
areas for the academic year 2009–10.
top achievements | 2009–10
During the past year, the Udall Center and the Native Nations Institute:
• secured sponsored projects and foundation grants totaling more than
$2 million, a 22% increase over the previous year and a leverage of four dollars
in extramural support for every one dollar of state funding
• published three books on water and environmental policy, and 35 journal
articles, book chapters, reports, essays, and reviews about environmental, immigration, and Indigenous nations policy
• received the 2010 Public Sector Leadership Award from the National
Congress of American Indians, shared with the Harvard Project on American
Indian Economic Development
• organized and convened five research workshops, one lecture series,
one executive forum, two youth leadership camps, and 12 executive
education seminars
• established a significant partnership with the Archibald Bush
Foundation, in support of the self-determination of the 23 Native nations within
the Bush Foundation’s service area
• supported 20 graduate research assistants and associates seeking
degrees in eight UA departments, as well as three undergraduate assistants
and seven degree-seeking staff members
We credit the many individuals and entities at The University of Arizona and beyond
who assisted us in realizing these accomplishments (see back cover).

Co-Chairs
The Native Nations Institute’s International
Advisory Council (IAC) is composed of current
and past Native leaders, scholars, community
leaders, administrators, and nonprofit and
nongovernmental organization executives.
Members
The IAC provides counsel and advice to help
ensure that NNI’s programs are having the
maximum beneficial effect for Native nations.
The IAC met with NNI staff twice during 2009–10,
in Tucson, Ariz., and Bismark, N.D., and with lessformal consultation occuring on a continuing basis.
We are grateful for the numerous contributions the
IAC members have made to NNI’s overall success
this past year—and since NNI’s founding in 2001.
