Not everyone can be a foster parent.
But everyone can make a difference.
Keep Culture Alive for Native Children in Foster Care.
ROOTS. INDENTITY. BELONGING.
Become a Cultural Mentor
Our Native children in foster care need more than a safe place—they need their roots. As a mentor, you can be someone they turn to. You can answer questions, share stories, attend cultural gatherings, or simply be there.
OUR KINSHIP RESPONSIBILITY
Honor Their Heritage
Right now, most Native children in the North Dakota foster care system are placed in non-Native homes. There aren’t enough Native foster families. We understand-fostering isn’t possible for everyone. But you can still help. You can be the bridge that keeps a child connected to who they are and where they come from.
CULTURE IS CARE
Your Presence Means Everything.
Help our children stay close to their culture. Help a foster family understand the traditions that matter. Help keep our ways alive.
STRONG HEARTS TO THE FRONT
Be a Guide. Be a Voice. Be a Connection.

Let’s walk this path together.
For our children. For our future.
