Anishinaabek Caucus Mission Statement
Anishinaabek Caucus Mission Statement
The Anishinaabek Caucus of the Michigan Democratic Party educates, empowers, and advocates on issues that Native Americans deem important to Indian Country, including but not limited to Treaty Rights and Tribal Sovereignty.
“The State of Michigan occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary lands of the Anishinaabek – Three Fires Confederacy, the Odawa (Ottawa), Ojibwe (Chippewa), and Bodewadmi (Potawatomi). The Michigan Democratic Party recognizes historic Indigenous communities in Michigan and those forcibly removed from their homelands. We further recognize the ongoing relationship of dependence upon, and respect for, all living beings of earth, sky, and water. In offering this land acknowledgment, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty, history, and experiences.”
