Indigenous Peoples Day is a time to celebrate the history, cultures and contributions of Native people. But it’s also an opportunity to reflect on what’s happening in Native communities today.
Coming up at 9 a.m. on Monday, MPR News host Angela Davis talks with two Native leaders about the ways Native communities in Minnesota are thriving, the challenges they continue to face and what the future holds for the next generation.
And we want to hear from you, too.
What changes are you seeing in Native communities across Minnesota? What challenges deserve more attention? And if you’re Native, tell us something you want people to understand about your community.
Call us during the 9 a.m. hour at 651-227-6000 or 800-242-2828.
