David E. Wilkins is a citizen of the Lumbee Nation of North Carolina. He earned his Ph.D. in political science (comparative politics) from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He concentrates much of his work on Native politics and governance, with particular attention on the transformations that Indigenous governments have both coercively and voluntarily engaged in from pre-colonial times to the present.

The concepts of Native sovereignty, self-determination, and diplomacy are at the heart of Wilkins's research and teaching. He has focused much of his work on the political and legal relationships between Native nations and the intergovernmental affairs between Native peoples and states and Native peoples and the federal government. He has been a visiting professor at Dartmouth College, Harvard University, and Wake Forest University.

Shelly Hulse Wilkins is an analyst and consultant with the Wilkins Forum, LLC. She holds an MPA with an emphasis in Tribal–state relations and has worked on issues of importance to Native governments for twenty-five years. Before convening the Wilkins Forum with her partner, David, she worked as a state legislative caucus liaison, senior analyst for the Washington State Senate, and program principal for the State-Tribal Institute at the National Conference of State Legislatures. With David Wilkins, she coauthored Dismembered: Native Disenrollment and the Battle for Human Rights (2017).
