Today on #NativeAmericanDay, we honor the history and culture of the nine tribes that call our beautiful state home. We are reminded that the systemic racism that our Native and Indigenous neighbors face has a direct impact on their mental wellness. According to NAMI, mental illness affects ~19% of Native American and Indigenous peoples, and the suicide rate is higher for them than for any other group in the United States. Join us in remembering the lives of those that came before us and the lives that have been lost to mental illness caused by generations of harm and trauma. Photo credit: South Dakota Tourism
