Tal D. Moore

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, Tal D. Moore, on April 15, 2025.

As the former director of development for the NNAHRA Foundation, Tal was more than a professional; he was a guiding light, a mentor, and a cherished member of our NNAHRA family.

For over 30 years, Tal dedicated his life and career to organizational development and human resources, with a profound commitment to Indigenous Country. His experience supporting Tribal enterprises spanned healthcare, hospitality, government, education, and nonprofits. Whether through his work at the Falmouth Institute, REDW, or as a leader within tribal organizations such as the Kalispel Tribe, Navajo Nation’s Fort Defiance Indian Hospital, and Sandia Pueblo, Tal always focused on helping others grow. His leadership as a former president for NNAHRA’s Association and the NNAHRA Foundation helped expand education and training opportunities for our human resources professionals and tribal leaders.

Tal’s greatest legacy was his family, which includes his husband, Darin, and his son, Sean, which he held close to his heart. His legacy continued through his work and the number of lives he touched. He inspired emerging leaders, empowered professionals, and lit up every room he entered with his knowledge, kindness, and ever-present smile. He believed in people and made them believe in themselves.

He was a proud Isleta Pueblo descendant who honored tradition, community, and learning. Even in his emails, he reminded us to keep joy at the center of our work — always signing off his signature with, “Cheers!”

We will continue to celebrate his life, his legacy, and the countless ways he shaped our organization and Tribal Country. Tal, thank you for inspiring so many. You will forever be a part of our NNAHRA family.
