* Note: The third full group meeting with agencies was cancelled after WA recognized the meetings to date had shown little pre-work by agency staff for our presented agendas, few offerings from the State during discussion, and an inability by the agencies to agree to Waadookawaad Amikwag calls for “No More Harm.” While the group approached the agencies on July 5, 2023, to resume collaborating on future meetings together, we have not had any acknowledgement of our 7/5/23 communication. We continue to struggle with securing responses from state authorities and agencies.
