UTTC Tribal Summit: Providing culturally relevant programs to Native people in Urban areas
Native Inc. provides human trafficking prevention services, raises MMIP awareness, and more
Culturally sensitive programs and services are crucial for urban Indians, Lorraine Davis told attendees at her UTTC Tribal Leaders Summit panel Sept. 3.
“I saw there was a lack of help for Native Americans,” said Davis, founder and CEO of Native Inc. and Native American Development Center. “What I wanted was tribal people helping tribal people.”
Native Inc. provides programs for domestic violence survivors, homelessness, youth services, cultural events and more. The organizations have offices in Bismarck and Fargo but will open a new office in Grand Forks this winter.
Davis aims to inspire: “We all have a fighting spirit within us.”
