Poarch Creek Indians Tribal Council Member Justin Stabler, was recently chosen to attend the inaugural session of the Tribal Leadership Academy at Dartmouth College, a private Ivy League research university in Hanover, New Hampshire. 

Stabler was one of 18 leaders from 16 Tribes selected to attend the prestigious inaugural event held as an educational and networking opportunity for Tribal leaders. According to Stabler, it provided a unique opportunity to represent the Tribe while also gaining valuable knowledge on key initiatives such as economic development, education, and healthcare that he could bring back home. The academy provided a platform to learn from some of the best minds while allowing Stabler to share some of Poarch’s successes.

For Stabler, being selected to attend the Tribal Leadership Academy Inaugural Cohort at Dartmouth was a tremendous honor. He said, “As a representative and leader of the Poarch Creek Indians, I saw this as a chance to hear fresh perspectives and unique experiences that allow us to better serve our communities and ensure a strong future for the next generation.”

Held at Dartmouth, a university that rededicated itself more than 50 years ago to its original mission of educating Native American and Indigenous students, now has more than 1,300 Native and Indigenous alumni. Stabler enjoyed a dinner with some of the Native American students and used it as a bonding opportunity with both the students and faculty.

Stabler said he is deeply humbled to be part of the first cohort and looks forward to the journey ahead, where he can help shape the future of the Tribe through collaboration, education, and leadership. He is also proud of the Tribe’s progress and the many accomplishments that he was able to share with other leaders from other Tribes.
