We are still here, Minnesota.

Recent events in the United States and around the world have brought increased public attention to issues faced by marginalized groups, including Native peoples. Despite this increased awareness, the majority of Americans maintain skewed perceptions of Native peoples and nations. In Minnesota, entrenched disparities in health, education and economic opportunity persist despite the state's reputation as one of progressive change. We Are Still Here Minnesota is a community (or network) of Native American leaders in education, governance, media and philanthropy working together with our allies to identify and deconstruct narratives harmful to Native Americans. We Are Still Here Minnesota affirms the resiliency of Native peoples throughout our region, and we stand committed to rebuilding systems that support Native families, communities, and Nations now and into the future.
