About the Project
The Minnesota Department of Human Services is seeking community guidance to co-create a report to develop priorities in policies and structural changes to improve the health of American Indian community members in Minnesota healthcare programs and find ways Minnesota Medicaid can support tribal nations and American Indian urban communities in their health and wellness efforts. The report will guide the Department of Human Services, legislators, elected officials, healthcare leaders, and clinicians in better serving the American Indian community through their policies and practices.
About Us
At Marnita’s Table, we seek to close gaps across difference by making Intentional Social Interaction the new pattern for society where Indigenous, people of color, the disenfranchised, the poor, the unheard, the fragile, the LGBTQ+, and anyone who is usually left out of community decision making is automatically included and valued at the policy-making and resource-sharing table. Experts at social capital building, we’ve welcomed almost 100,000 people from around the world and around the way to find common ground while breaking bread – in person or online; we bring people together to create meaningful change and more equitable systems.
