We’re Back! The Best Way to Fight the System is to Make Your Own | KINOOMAAGEWIN

The Niigaaniin Podcast

Niigaaniin Services is making strides to further help Community Members by providing services that don’t exist. We saw an increase in services needed for Community Members during the COVID-19 pandemic and made it a priority to integrate them into our organization. We are now seeing positive changes in surrounding communities. It is only the beginning of moving forward in a good way.
