Native American “Aunties” Raise Funds to Feed Migrants

Voice of America reports that an inspiring group of Native American women from tribes in Oklahoma have launched a nonprofit organization they’re calling the “Auntie Project: Native Women of Service.”  Their goal is to help indigenous kids in need, beginning with child migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

The idea came to them in June, after hearing that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) would move 1,400 unaccompanied migrant children to Fort Still, a U.S. Army post near Lawton, Oklahoma.
