This process is called decolonizing. We go back to a more traditional way of living and apply it to the modern world. The end result is skills knowledge and family stewardship while celebrating our cultural identity. We train to the standard of the American school system with a tradition-based lens that connects holistic living and cultural responsiveness . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb881d16190f49cdbbac01/1628818785219-DD86AG1R67XY1Z0IMRD3/Little+Earth+Colorful+Flowers7.png Impact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.littleearth.org/programs daily 0.75 2025-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb881d16190f49cdbbac01/bc9aae40-c75c-4650-8622-29427d4dcc03/Little+Earth+Backgrounds-03.png Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb881d16190f49cdbbac01/1628819944208-2SXT79US4N6PQMPDMJWR/Screen+Shot+2021-08-12+at+8.58.52+PM.png Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb881d16190f49cdbbac01/1631711522346-E6NDZF77J8BNY5I0R4BY/IMG_8818.jpg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb881d16190f49cdbbac01/1731591257408-IUZ4ZVMNPY4GM90R8MKT/unsplash-image-h2wwwS1bNv4.jpg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb881d16190f49cdbbac01/b2ffae0e-f739-4b51-93e0-c317d90289d6/lizannettegarden2_ab.jpg Programs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb881d16190f49cdbbac01/1731591699781-YHYVFM5G9Y1K5NTS2LM9/unsplash-image-NDDKWsrKufY.jpg Programs https://www.littleearth.org/donate daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb881d16190f49cdbbac01/1624836969848-1JKEJHL4NUAUCV4CQV6U/Untitled+design+%287%29.png Donate - CHECKS Please make all checks payable to “Little Earth Residents Association.” Address all checks to: LERA 2495 18th Avenue South Minneapolis MN 55404 https://www.littleearth.org/native-youth-arts-collective daily 0.75 2025-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60cb881d16190f49cdbbac01/1628817884296-QQ5MVHF5EDX8MS3H8O30/Screen+Shot+2021-08-12+at+8.24.01+PM.png Native Youth Arts Collective The Native Youth Arts Collective (NYAC) is a group of Native teens and young adult artists residing in the Little Earth and East Phillips neighborhoods in Minneapolis.
