Division of Indian Work

The Division of Indian Work (DIW) has been providing culturally-specific programming to the urban American Indian community in Minneapolis for 74 Years!

For Give to the Max Day 2026 on Thursday, November 19th, DIW has a $10,000 goal, which will be used for our Be@School program.  

MORE ABOUT THE BE@SCHOOL PROGRAM:
