Translate This Page About UsN.A.T.I.V.E.S. is a tribal non-profit organization founded by George Stillday, a member of the Red Lake Nation. Our name--Native American Traditional Indians Very Evolved Spiritually--reflects our long-time commitment to protecting Native peoples’ rights to self-determination and freedom to practice our own spiritual traditions. We have been working for spiritual wellness since 1995. N.A.T.I.V.E.S. Foundation was founded in 1995 by George Stillday. From 1995 to 2006 the foundation served Native peoples in western states. There was no activity from 2006-2008. In 2008 the organization relocated to Minnesota with a new focus: providing shelter, basic needs, and spiritual support to Native women recently released from incarceration or experiencing homelessness. In March 2009, NATIVES moved to 60 Stevens Street West Suite 7 in St. Paul. To this point, efforts by a core group of people have focused on developing an infrastructure for the organization: central office space, securing resources, and program development. The primary focus is to purchase living space for residents at our first site and assemble resources to meet their anticipated needs. George Stillday, President & Frounder Connie Stillday, CEO
