Building a brighter future for Northern Michigan’s Tribal communities
Tribal communities in Northern Michigan face challenges, including healthcare disparities, educational barriers, economic struggles, mental health issues, and environmental concerns.
We must fight for better healthcare, more resources for schools, job creation, and environmental protection.

Respecting tribal sovereignty and addressing inadequate housing are also crucial. Efforts to preserve Native cultures and traditions are vital.

Friends,
I am committed to listening, collaborating, learning from tribal leaders, and finding solutions with federal support.
Attending the Baraga PowWow today and previously in Marquette, as well as drumming on the grandfather drum in Mackinac City, were unforgettable experiences that deepened my respect and commitment.
The act of grandfather drumming, symbolizing the heartbeat of Mother Earth, unites the community and connects us to our ancestors, embodying unity, healing, and tradition.
The regalia at the KBIC Maawanji'dig Pow Wow [[link removed]] is always a powerful reminder for me of the importance of our tribal communities, how this land is the traditional, ancestral, and contemporary homeland of the Anishinaabe.
It's incumbent upon all who seek to represent Michigan's first district to be better stewards of the land, air, and water by respecting treaty rights, and committing to work not just at tribal communities, but with them, at the table, for the benefit of all.
I began my medical career honored to serve and live in the Navajo Nation for three years. That experience taught me the importance of serving with humility and dedication. As your Representative, I will be proud and honored to serve our tribal communities with the same spirit.
I'm honored to have the support of the Michigan Democratic Party's Anishinaabek Caucus.

Home to seven of Michigan's 12 federally recognized tribes, our district is surrounded by three Great Lakes, and the blessing of party's Native community is crucial.
Together, with respect and determination, we can build a brighter future for Northern Michigan's tribal communities.
K'Chi-Miigwech,
