Lots of changes continue to occur on Franklin Avenue. New people, new buildings, new trees, new sidewalks, new flower pots, are all adding to a new history of the ave. Franklin Ave has a unique and colorful history, good and bad. In either case, American Indians have been a critical part of this history.
It is important that the American Indian community continue to define and claim a geographic and cultural presence in Minneapolis and Franklin Ave is one of those critical anchors.
Please join us next Wednesday evening, starting at 6:00pm, at All Nations Indian Church and be a part of thinking about the future of Franklin Avenue–one of the most well-known urban American Indian streets in the United States.
