Mino Bimaadizi Science and Medicine Fair 2023
Event Navigation
Mino Bimaadizi is the Ojibwe translation for “be well.” The American Indian Community Housing Organization and the Center of American Indian & Minority Health have partnered together again to host a free event that includes a fun walk/run, science and medicine fair with meet and greets with local Indigenous and BIPOC science and medical professionals, a feast, traditional lacrosse games and an Indigenous comedian.
The organization and its community partners seek to bring community awareness about healthy lifestyles, physical activity and local Indigenous cultures. There is a hope to break down mistrust of scientists and medical providers and engage with the community together in hands-on, educational and cultural ways.
