Meet the Next Oyate Network Cohort
Leaders gathered in Mille Lacs in September 2017
Tiwahe Foundation is committed to collaborating with Native leaders across urban, rural and tribal communities across Minnesota to build a regional network to improve our communities. Dedicated leaders in various sectors come together to connect and increase partnerships to advance self determined efforts in their community.
The fourth Oyate Network cohort completed their first session and explored the power of a network approach. We were joined by respected elder, Ida Downwind of the Leech Lake Nation to ground our group in culture and an Indigenous worldview.
We look forward to working with these amazing leaders this session:
  • Nate Taylor (Red Lake Nation)
  • Jessica Rousseau (Cheyenne River)
  • Sterling Knox (Oglala/Kickapoo)
  • Chilah Brown (Mille Lacs/Chickasaw)
  • Joy Annette (White Earth Nation)
  • Michelle Beaulieu (Leech Lake)
  • Aida Strom (Sisseton Wahpeton)
  • Awanewquay Rendon (Leech Lake/White Earth)
  • Ryan Dixon (Oglala Lakota)
  • Angel Nordman (Leech Lake Nation)
  • Sylvia Fred (Pomo)
  • Dustin Goslin (Prairie Band Potawatomi)
Thank You and Farewell
Laura Durden, Development and Programs Administrator
It has been my privilege to work for the Tiwahe Foundation and the American Indian community it serves. It has been very rewarding to work for a mission as important as Tiwahe’s. As I continue on to other opportunities, I would like to extend my thank you to the American Indian Family Empowerment Program fund grantees, Oyate Network alumni, Tiwahe staff and Board of Directors for making me a part of the Tiwahe family.
Sincerely,
Laura
Please Join Us for a Very Special Night
