ABOUT OUR
PROGRAMS —
We focus on reclaiming and sharing our indigenous teachings of manhood, healthy lifestyles, and ideals that focus on respect and responsibility. We offer multiple programs aimed to prevent future violence and abuse while raising awareness of domestic and sexual violence. Read more to learn more about our programs.
MEN’S RE-EDUCATION —
The primary objective of our re-education classes is to help men understand how their behaviors directly impact themselves and those around them. We use the Duluth curriculum and traditional teachings surrounding concepts of healthy masculinity to lead them towards understanding why and how they can change their behaviors for the better. Attendees leave our re-education sessions with a renewed sense of responsibility as men to become healthy allies to the members of their homes and communities.

YOUTH PROGRAMMING
We feel that our attention must be directed towards the younger members of our community to provide education and understandings that develop healthy, productive, nonviolent men. We offer mentoring for young boys in schools and nearby communities to ensure their growth leans towards being responsible allies to women.
CAMPS
We offer support for men and boys with our culture camps focused on team building and traditional values of manhood. By discovering their individual identities and learning how to apply healthy behaviors, men and boys are better equipped for being respectful and nonviolent.
NATIONAL NATIVE MEN’S COALITION
Not only do we work locally to promote and ensure the safety of our community, but we take part in preventative work on a national scale. The National Native Men’s Coalition was founded on the premise of addressing domestic and sexual violence and creating intervention and prevention strategies across the country. This includes establishing national standards, certifying native specific batterer’s intervention programs, creating native specific curricula and education material, providing training and technical assistance, and utilizing native cultures and traditions for a solid foundation for change. Through this coalition, we are able to support other programs for men and boys with skills and curriculum training, as well as technical assistance and standards for success.

CALLING MEN TO ACTION—
We are calling men into action to join the movement of addressing domestic and sexual violence. The conversation of ending this violence has manifested in local actions and national awareness causes, helping to educate the public on how domestic and sexual violence are tied to further social, economic, and environmental issues. We realize that it is only when we stand together as men that we can really have an impact in addressing and changing the social norms that support violence against women. Join us in this conversation, this movement, this end to violence.
