A social enterprise for Indigenous Children…

Niniijaanis is building a collective ecosystem for American Indian children and families. Our work addresses early educational disparities through Niniijaanis culturally-relevant learning materials and curriculum, supports public health through our MMIW basketball initiatives, and develops local economies for our American Indian artists, educators & culture bearers through our One of One efforts to fundraise with Indigenous made original & limited-edition items.

Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children.

We want to use this opportunity to pay it forward to the Niniijaanis MMIW boys' basketball team. Coach Brook has had the privilege to be one of their basketball coaches for the past 4 years. We play to honor our cousin, aunty, mother, and relative Becky DuBois, to spread awareness & bring healing to our family & other MMIWR. We want to raise $2000 ($100/mile) towards our Native Jr Nationals tournament June 21-23. For every $100 raised, we will be sending out small reciprocity gifts from donations made to the team. The first 3 gifts are fabulous Native hand-made anter earrings by Jerry Roberts, Narrows Crafts Thank you to Jerry's generosity & those who continually support us!
