Leadership

---

Joshuah Marshall  (Northern Arapaho) is the founder and principal of Marshall Policy Solutions, a strategic advisory firm dedicated to advancing results oriented and equity-centered policy and strengthening tribal sovereignty and self-determination. With nearly two decades of leadership across federal, nonprofit, and philanthropic sectors, Joshuah brings deep expertise in health care policy, tax and budget policy at state and federal levels, infrastructure investment, and Indigenous advocacy.

Most recently, he served in the Biden-Harris Administration as Senior Advisor to the Director of the Indian Health Service (IHS). IHS is the principal federal health care provider and advocate for over 2.6 million American Indians and Alaska Natives. In this role, he advised on high-level health policy, strategic initiatives, and agency operations. He led high-impact initiatives including the $3.5 billion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law investment in IHS’s Sanitation Facilities Construction program bringing clean water and sanitation facilities to over 100,000 tribal homes, voting rights implementation under Executive Order 14019, final rulemaking on reproductive health care access and catastrophic health coverage, and crafting policy responses to Supreme Court decisions.  He also served as a federal commissioner on the Not Invisible Act Commission, addressing the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People.

Prior to his federal leadership, Joshuah worked at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, where he helped integrate racial equity and tribal sovereignty frameworks into state fiscal policy work across the State Priorities Partnership, a network of 43 state-based think tanks. His earlier roles at the Administration for Native Americans, Administration for Children and Families, and the Tribal Home Visiting Program further deepened his commitment to community-based solutions and culturally grounded care.

A Returned Peace Corps Volunteer, Joshuah is Northern Arapaho and Black and was born and raised on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. He founded Marshall Policy Solutions to help governments, nonprofits, tribes, and mission-driven organizations design bold, equity-driven strategies that deliver lasting impact.
