History

Mino-Ayâwin Pimêtisiwin was created and designed to fill in the gap of supports for those who are exiting or have come in contact with the western justice system(s). NCO was aware of this gap that our relatives face once leaving our healing facility (Manitou House) and knew our relatives weren’t the only ones facing this problem. Mino-Ayâwin Pimêtisiwin officially opened its doors to the community July 5, 2023, making it Native Clan Organization’s first and only place for all our Relatives in community. We fill in this gap at Mino-Ayâwin Pimêtisiwin by offering many meaningful supports and programs that are culturally focused, peer lead, and by meeting our relatives where they are at in their journey.

The Name
