BIPOC Mental Health Collective – The University of Minnesota-Twin Cities sits on the traditional homelands of the Dakota People. The Mental Health Collective of Black Indigenous People of Color recognizes the original peoples of this place and acknowledges that it's impossible and harmful to talk about individual mental health without actively working to be in right relationships with the people and the land who have been and will continue to be here. Our collective strives to bring together people from Native Communities and Black/POC Communities and where frequently our communities have been pitted against one-another we know we are stronger when in solidarity. We cannot be together without first acknowledging the broken treaties and displacement of our Indigenous relatives and without continuing to support one another.
