Hats-off to all our Runners!!
I just wanted to send a personal Chi-Miigwech to everyone who helped organize yesterdays Eagle Staff Run and all those who ran. All of you did a wonderful job and stepped up to the plate to run for your community. The weather was perfect and all the runners had a great time! You could really feel the sense of community pride as runners completed their leg of the run, youth and elders sharing a journey of renewal in support of our cultural heritage and identity. The Eagle Staff has long served as an important cultural marker for tribal nations and is central to establishing community identity and purpose. (more)

Women’s Circle
Every Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. is Young Women’s Drum Practice followed by Women’s Circle from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Women’s Circle is supported by 7th Generation, Behavioral Health Program and the Healthy Start Outreach of Nimkee Clinic.
The opportunity for traditional and cultural gathering of women is very important to be able to better understand the roles and responsibilities of the Native American Woman today. The Women’s Circle is a supporting and non-discriminatory group that join together once a week to better our community through sharing and teaching. “We want to come together to maintain balance…to thank the creator, to acknowledge and honor all of what we have to be thankful for…”
