Native Workplace Inc. is a Native operated non- profit organization created in 2000 with the objective to
educate the community on jobs in renewable energy, to provide strategic workforce development and tribal
planning. Our mission is to create opportunity while honoring Native culture with results that improve the
quality of life for Native families.
Cristala Mussato-Allen (Caddo) founded the organization and serves as the

Federal agencies such as the Department of Interior Office of Indian Energy
& Economic Development (OIEED), Department of Labor, California Indian
Manpower, and Department of Energy Tribal Energy Program, the National

Enterprise Development, National Tribal Employment Rights Council and the
National Wildlife Federation. Additional work includes contracts from the
Department of Interior BIA workforce development, Oglala Lakota Sioux

NWP entered the hemp and cannabis industries as Tribal Liaisons to assist tribes and corporations
in the development of Cannabis-Hemp education and commerce. NWP launched our effort by hosting the
first Tribal Hemp & Cannabis Summit at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, NM April 2015.
