Indigenous People's Day is a time to uplift and celebrate Native communities around the world! At People Serving People, we see the disparities that Indigenous families face.

According to Minnesota Housing, “Native Americans in Minnesota are 28 times more likely to experience homelessness as compared with non-Latino whites.” And it’s why we celebrate the cultural heritage of our guests, nearly 93% of whom identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color, with events like our “American Indian Heritage Day” in May.
