Aanjichigeng

We began as a group of 4 Ojibwe artists who created a series of over 15 murals in partnership with over 500 community members over the course of 2019-2022. Our work has grown into an emerging nonprofit that’s currently fiscally sponsored until we officially incorporate as a 501(c)3 and hope to use our platform to bridge gaps in access to resources for Native artists. The vision of Aanjichigeng is to protect and maintain the site of the Chief Buffalo Memorial in partnership with responsibilities agreed upon with the City of Duluth, to continue to build ways of engaging with the history of Chief Buffalo and the Treaty of 1854, through public art, historical signage, and community engagement, and to celebrate contemporary Indigenous storytellers, leaders, artists, and community members, both descendants of Chief Buffalo and those who continue to work for the betterment of conditions for Native people in our region (Northeastern MN).

Our theory of change is that when Native peoples and communities have access to national networks, innovative tools for community organizing, strategies for civic and voter engagement, and pathways to leadership, we inherently advance all of our communities’ health and wellbeing.

Advance Native Political Leadership Education Fund is a 501(c)(3) fund, and is housed at Tides Foundation.
