A picture paints a thousand words

She keeps the secret from her peers: 5,000 of her Native
family are homeless or double up with family in the Twin
Cities.
Up to 10 homeless Native
Americans here die violent or
anonymous deaths each year
many from beatings,
freezing, or falling near their
Mississippi River bank camps.
Skilled enough to live off
the land, they die on
concrete.
Former Ojibwa chief
Gordon Thayer was saved

that controls 55 percent of
his Native brothers in the
Phillips neighborhood.
He works with public and
private donors to build
treatment centers and
restore hope to hundreds.
Give him a call. He needs your help.
