Description

In the late 1960s, Indian families in Minneapolis and St.
Paul were under siege.
In 1972, motivated by prejudice in the child welfare system and hostility in the public schools, American Indian Movement (AIM) organizers and local Native parents came together to start their own community school.
Though established in a moment of crisis, the school fulfilled a goal that Pat Bellanger had worked toward for years: to create an education system that would enable Native children ‘never to forget who they were’.
