The Big Idea
Native youth, families and veterans who live in the Bismarck-Mandan area want to be more connected to the broader community. Sacred Pipe Resource Center hopes to organize monthly community engagement meetings for individuals and local agencies. The meetings are intended to promote leadership development and cross-cultural understanding. A better equipped and connected community could lead to more equitable civic engagement.
