Chippewa County MDHHS Board approves $200 for Native youth program at Sault Tribe facility
Summary
The board approved up to $200 to help fund snacks and activity materials for a Native youth program; Mackinac County had approved $100 and the board requested a March presentation to report attendance and program details.
The Chippewa County MDHHS Board approved up to $200 on Jan. 9 to support "Understanding the Purpose of Life, 12 Teachings for Native Youth," a program organized by Holly Bishop of NAOW and planned for the Sault Tribe Youth Facility. The requested funds are intended to cover snacks and activity materials. Minutes note that Mackinac County MDHHS previously approved up to $100 toward the program.
Terri Bush moved to approve up to $200; the motion was supported by Chairperson Christy Curtis and the board carried the motion. Board members asked about other funding sources and how many youth from each county would attend. Director Rose suggested that Holly Bishop do a presentation for the board in March to report on attendance and answer questions from members.
The minutes do not list a detailed budget for the program or the total number of expected participants; those details were requested and are to be provided if Bishop presents in March.
