The Duluth Indigenous Commission, formerly known as the Duluth American Indian Commission, is  committed to building alliances with governmental, Tribal, and community partners that will support the restoration of Indigenous cultural values and principles, thereby creating collaborative relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous citizens.

We utilize natural laws in the stewardship of the land and its resources. We reclaim cultural beliefs, prioritizing self-determination and Indigenous worldviews relevant to all these relationships.

The commission further commits to addressing concerns pertaining to the Indigenous community, providing a forum to secure an Indigenous voice in decision making. We look to promote and develop leadership by advocating and formulating policy to its implementation.

The standard we will utilize is The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous
Peoples. Adopted Sept. 13, 2007
