Programs & Events

Every week, all are welcome. Bring a craft, or materials to kick off a new project. Sandra Berlin of White Earth is our Elder in Residence, available to assist with a number of traditional and contemporary crafts.

No experience is needed—come as you are. Whether you want to make a ribbon skirt (bring three yards of fabric) or simply share a meal and good conversation, there is a place for you here. Indigenous artists, makers, and community members come together each week to create, connect, and support one another.

Under the leadership of NDSCS instructor, Board Certified Lactation Consultant, and registered nurse Candi Smith (Osage), we support Indigenous families through culturally grounded maternal and child health programs centering wellness, tradition, and community care.

Our offerings include doula certification training, parenting workshops, and gatherings that honor traditional practices and support healthy beginnings that uplift families and strengthen community health.

Each summer, the Indigenous Association partners with local organizations to offer a paid, hands-on opportunity for youth to learn about urban agriculture, sustainability, and community service.

Led by Garden Manager Andrew Blackbird, youth manage the Garden at the Gladys Ray Shelter—a welcoming environment to connect with the land, culture, and community. Youth Stewards also work alongside experienced farmers at Prairie Rose Farm and other local agricultural sites to gain real-world skills in food cultivation and environmental stewardship.
