@FDAOncology Wopida, thank you for bringing the AI/AN perspective to the conversation! @AICAF_Org was honored to participate alongside these wonderful folks/orgs/panelists.
I spy @AICAF_Org staff and my daughter Mills being a young advocate, understanding the importance of lung health, and #keepingtobaccosacred. I am thankful to my staff and Mills (along with other native youth) who all participated in Day at the Capitol. @smokefreegenMN
We can't get over yesterday's Day at the Capitol with @smokefreegenMN! Nearly 250 advocates completed over 100 meetings with members of #mnleg asking them to put the health of MN'ans first & end the sale of flavored commercial tobacco products in MN.
Let's Keep Lungs Loud!π£π«π

This #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth, we will place a focus on addressing persistent disparities in #colorectalcancer incidence and mortality in #AIAN communities at #NCCRT2023. We'll hear from nationally-lauded experts about barriers and solutions to reaching these communities.
Happy Native American Heritage Month! We're proud to be the first nationally distributed children's program to feature Native American and Alaska Native lead characters.
Happy #IndigenousPinkDay!! πππ
1 in 8 women will get breast cancer. Breast cancer usually has no symptoms when the tumor is small and most treatable.

A little over 2 months away from Powwow for Hope, we have fundraised a little over $70,000 so far, I know we can reach our goal. We will be reaching out for silent auction donations soon, and I know we all can't wait to bid on beadwork, star quilts, and such! #powwowforhope
