Tribe to donate $6 million for physical health programs for Native American children
- Native American children across Minnesota will see a multi-million dollar investment in fitness options thanks to a donation from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community. The tribe announced at a Thursday news conference that it's pledging $6 million over the next three years toward projects focused on physical health for young Native people statewide.
The Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota has announced a significant $6 million donation aimed at enhancing physical health programs for Native American children. This initiative, funded through the tribe's gaming revenues, seeks to address the health disparities faced by Native youth by providing resources for physical activities, nutritional education, and wellness programs. The donation will support the creation of new facilities, equipment purchases, and the expansion of existing health initiatives, focusing on reducing obesity rates, improving mental health, and fostering a culture of wellness among Native children. This effort is part of a broader movement to empower Native communities by investing in the health and future of their younger generations.
