Our Mission is to facilitate intentional coalition-building, information sharing and collective strategizing around social justice topics and causes. The goal is to cultivate a proverbial “village” of socially-conscious humans on a global digital platform.
A New Network for the Community Minded
What is It Takes A Village Nation?
It Takes A Village Nation is a social platform where activists, organizers, businesses and community members from all over the world can connect virtually.
We provide a safe space for these groups to collaborate, share resources, and mobilize around social causes they care about.
It Takes A Village Nation empowers you to build community quickly, and in that sense, no matter where you are, signing on allows you to strengthen and support the many villages in which we operate.

November 18, 1945 - "Wilma Mankiller, First Female Chief of the Cherokee Nation, is Born"
Wilma Mankiller, who served as the Chief of the Cherokee Nation for ten years from 1985 to 1995, was born in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. In 1985, Mankiller became the first female Chief of the Cherokee Nation. Before serving in this capacity, she served as the deputy chief of the Cherokee Nation for two years, getting elected to the post in 1983. Mankiller became the Chief when Ross Swimmer died in 1985, but was elected to the post in 1987 and then reelected in 1991. Under the U.S. federal policy of Native American self-determination, Mankiller improved federal-tribal negotiations.
