Native Youth

The Trump administration has requested $22 million for postsecondary Indian education programs for 2026, compared to the $196 million appropriated for those programs in 2025.

Researchers said common barriers faced by Native American children include lack of culturally relevant curriculum in their educational settings.

All are invited to The Round Dance Friday, 11/25 from 4-10pm at the Bemidji Armory!

The Spiritual Run was created in honor of the school shooting tragedy that occurred on the Red Lake Reservation in 2005. Since then, the Leech Lake Band has continued this Spiritual Run for wellness every year.
