About Us
Indigenous Peoples Task Force (formally Minnesota American Indian AIDS Task Force) is a legally incorporated 501(c) 3 non-profit organization. The agency has been a leader and a pioneer in developing innovative culturally relevant services to targeted populations within the Native community. Programs achieve cultural competence through the familiarity of the staff with their cultural and spiritual traditions. Agency staff has been invited to participate as workshop leaders and contributors of HIV conferences including two Whit House conferences on HIV. In 1998, Maynidoowahdak Odena Housing Cooperative, a housing program for Native persons living with AIDS and their families, received the Design of the Year Award for Affordable Housing from the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency.
