We’re a Native women-led strategic consultancy committed to advancing the goals of Tribal Nations and organizations that serve Indigenous communities.
Our communities face evolving, complex challenges. We are our clients’ go-to partner for understanding those challenges and co-creating creative pathways to solving them.
Hi. We’re
Juneberry.
At our core, we're storytellers. Like our mothers and their mothers before them, we recognize the power of stories to engage, to inspire, and to move.
Story, in all its forms, powers our ability to help bold leaders translate "what if?" into something people can experience, believe in, and act on.
Core Offerings
Juneberry offers a full range of services that typically fall under the strategy, creative, and events umbrellas (and most clients need some mix of all three). We work across them holistically, operating as a fractional team where you need capacity, plugging into your existing team where you don't, and tapping in collaborators from our network when a project calls for it.
We’re energized by helping leaders see the forest and the trees—whether through strategic and organizational planning, community engagement, board and leadership facilitation, positioning, or funding strategy. We pair human-centered design with culturally responsive storytelling to supercharge clients’ ability to translate intention into impact. Equal parts ideation and implementation, our clients appreciate that we don't prescribe before we understand or disappear once we’ve hit send on the deliverables: end-to-end, we’re there.
Strategy
We're geeked by all of it. We've built brands from scratch for newborn companies, brought messaging and content strategies back to life for veteran orgs, operated as a fractional marketing and creative team, designed websites and reports, launched and managed campaigns end to end, and handled PR for clients navigating both celebration and crisis. If ever there's a piece of a project we can't handle in-house, we've got really good friends in creative places.
Creative
Events
Gatherings are the oldest work we know. Our communities have always done their most impactful work by coming together. We've produced everything from annual summits ready to scale, first-time convenings with no playbook, and board retreats to groundbreakings, launch events and immersive pop-ups, and fundraisers. We can own every piece from concept through load-out, or step into the specific spots where your team needs support.
Highlighted Projects

A Pro Bowler's Youth Combine and Native American Heritage Month Celebration on the Oneida Nation
Give & Gather brought NFL pro bowler Elgton Jenkins and teammates to the Oneida Nation for a Native American Heritage Month celebration built around the tribe’s youth recreation program. The evening included a football combine for Oneida kids, a book giveaway for families, and 200+ turkeys distributed ahead of the holiday. Juneberry ran it end to end: securing the player appearances, lining up funding and partners, building the run of show, and handling staging and production on site.
-
A Go-To Team for a Tribal Housing Initiative and the Two Partners Behind It
Wolf River Development Corporation and Mavid Construction Services brought us in as their go-to team for the rollout of the Dream Catcher Housing Initiative. We worked across strategy, marketing/comms, creative, and events—handling everything from branding the development itself and refining the communications strategy around it to designing a dedicated landing page to developing the marketing plan for promoting the homes, including an in-community learning event.

A 150-Guest Fundraising Celebration for Well-Read Native
Well-Read Native, amplifying Indigenous voices in literature, wanted its second annual Indigenous Spring Fling to raise money for its Literature & Liberation campaign while feeling like a true community celebration. Juneberry produced the evening in Brooklyn, NY from concept through the final set. We booked a lineup of Native DJs, built a book giveaway that put Indigenous authors directly into guests' hands, curated the refreshment menu, and ran a charitable raffle that turned a night out into direct support for the campaign. More than 150 people pulled up, and we raised over 7x our fundraising goal.

End-to-End Conference Build for a Tribal Economic Development Corporation
Wolf River Development Corporation brought us in to help build the 2026 Tribal Lending Summit. We developed the conference brand and visual identity, designed and launched the summit website, and developed and implemented the conference marketing strategy. On the operations side, we managed registration end to end and secured and coordinated vendors. Because one team carried it from the first planning conversation through the final day on site, the brand attendees saw in their inbox was the same one they experienced at the conference.

Human-Centered Research Design, Implementation, & Synthesis for a Tribal Nation's First New Homes in 20 Years
The Menominee Nation had not seen new housing options come online in over two decades. Juneberry designed a human-centered survey combining qualitative and quantitative methods and administered it in person at the Menominee Powwow. The instrument did three jobs at once: it introduced new housing options to families hearing about them for the first time, it captured contact information for follow-up and education, and it collected real data on housing need, preference, and openness to modular construction. We synthesized the results, translated them into a set of recommendations our client could act on, and built a stakeholder pitch deck that we presented to four key partners in the work.

About Our
Name
The juneberries after which our firm (and our birth month) is named taught us a new way to understand relationships and exchange, modeling true reciprocity—never scarcity. As Potawotami writer Robin Wall Kimmerer famously wrote, “All flourishing is mutual.”
Accordingly, Juneberry’s core team is small by design so that we can stay agile, personal, and deeply invested in every project. Whenever possible and needed, we expand through a trusted collective of subject matter experts, creatives, and collaborators. This hyper-flexible, highly collaborative approach to the work not only allows us to build precisely the right team for each engagement, but actively model our founding principles of abundance and interdependence.
