Jean Kruft and the rest of the Board of Directors of Bam’idizowigamig Creator’s Place
Bam’idizowigamig Creator’s Place is designed to be a place of work and welcome. A place where people can enjoy earning supplemental income, use and improve their skills and get support in creating their own business or obtaining full time employment elsewhere.
The Ojibwe word Bam’idizowigamig means “a place to support oneself” . Bam’idizowigamig Creator’s Place is located in the small reservation village of Pine Point., MN. Pine Point is located at the remote South-East corner of the White Earth Nation Reservation . Pine Point Village is one of the most poverty stricken areas in the United States. The remote location of the village means that until now, to be employed, a person had to have reliable transportation to travel almost 30 miles to and from work. That and many other barriers have made paid employment of any kind very difficult to obtain. Bam’idizowigamig Creator’s Place is doing something about that – and YOU can help!
Please browse our shop and know that every purchase provides a glimmer of hope to a village where hope is hard to find.
