The Division of Indian Work (DIW) has been a key contributor to the Native community for almost 70 years. Our mission is to support and strengthen urban American Indian people through culturally-based education, traditional healing approaches, and leadership development. We achieve this by focusing on community and delivering programs and services directly or in partnership with other organizations. Our vision is American Indian communities that build upon inherent strengths and create safe, healthy, and nurturing environments in which everyone thrives.
Horizons Unlimited (HU) addresses hunger by providing the only culturally-sensitive food shelf in the west metro serving the urban American Indian population. HU has been offering services since 1952. The food shelf is open three days a week for three hours a day, providing families and seniors with access to fresh food including meats, fruits, vegetables and non-perishables.

Every Friday night our Street Team goes out to 10 different locations in Minneapolis, reaching out to the lost and hurting on the streets.
Join us for a time of street ministry every Friday night! We host a prayer service at the Life Center from 6pm – 7pm, and after that we split off into different routes and serve our city. We hand out hot dogs and clothing and most importantly pray with those we serve!
Our heart is to change our city, one life at a time. Street Team is a powerful opportunity to meet people where they are at, whether that is at a park, in a homeless shelter, or in the parking lot of a liquor store. We want to follow Jesus as He leads us to go after the lost in the inner-city.
“You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill.” – Matthew 5:14 (MSG)
