Understanding missing and murdered indigenous relatives in Minnesota

The Center for Indigenous People, Health and Nursing’s purpose is to establish a vehicle for change by occupying spaces we have never had and incorporating the 7 Grandfather Teachings: Humility, Bravery, Honesty, Wisdom, Truth, Respect, and Love in all work. We are pleased to host a variety of speakers for Native American Heritage Month.
