We’re Back! The Best Way to Fight the System is to Make Your Own | KINOOMAAGEWIN

Niigaaniin Services is making strides to further help Community Members by providing services that don’t exist. We saw an increase in services needed for Community Members during the COVID-19 pandemic and made it a priority to integrate them into our organization. We are now seeing positive changes in surrounding communities. It is only the beginning of moving forward in a good way.
