Four Sisters Monument
Minneapolis | The Native American Awareness (NAA) Task Group aims at raising consciousness and increasing knowledge about Native American culture, especially in Minnesota. We study the history and special problems experienced by Indians, who remain underserved in contemporary society, and we share what we learn with each other, with other Sisters, Consociates, and interested others. Membership in the Task Group depends upon enrollment; it is available to anyone attending NAA meetings. There are no dues or required obligations.
