Official Message from AICHO
In April 2020, the American Indian Community Housing Organization (AICHO) received a grant from the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) along with five other state-wide Indigenous organizations with the goal to share culturally relevant resources and education around COVID-19 in tribal communities.
AICHO’s COVID-19 Native American Community Communications project will engage American Indian leaders and communities with COVID-19 information provided by MDH resources and create content with culturally appropriate messaging by utilizing Indigenous artists and their art forms to help share visual cultural Indigenous teachings, and values, for all ages about important safety practices while holding onto traditions.
