Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians community members to address disparities in cancer care for Native Americans living in rural areas of Northern Michigan. This event symbolizes the power of a single voice in creating change in Tribal\, State and National health systems to create support for Native Americans who are enduring a journey with cancer.    \nThis community listening session is hosted by the Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan and is part of a larger collaborative project with Corewell Health\, with funding from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (EACB\, 34437).  The HOPE project is not research; it is specifically designed to communicate cultural\, spiritual and cancer care needs of our communities.  This has the power to motivate health systems to change their practices and promote future research in areas where care methods do not support our rural tribal communities.   \nRooted in respect\, partnership\, and shared knowledge\, the HOPE Listening Sessions will center Indigenous voices and lived experiences of cancer patients\, their family members\, and caregivers of individuals on the journey of a cancer diagnosis.  We also want to include the voices of family members who have lost a loved one to cancer.  Your voices will guide future strategies that will improve access to timely\, culturally centered cancer care. By listening deeply\, the HOPE staff from the Inter-Tribal Council of Michigan aims to understand the barriers and with you\, co-develop solutions that resonate within the needs of the Bay Mills and Sault Tribe community.    \n“Just as a single stone causes ripples across an entire pond\, one voice — one story — can influence policies\, programs\, and practices that reach far beyond the moment it’s shared\,” said Dr. Frank Animikwam of the HOPE Initiative. “Our mission is to honor those voices and ensure they shape the future of cancer care in tribal communities.”  \nYou can register yourself or your family members for this event taking place on Tuesday\, August 5 – Wednesday\, August 6\, 9:00 am – 2:00 pm in the Grand Ballroom at the Kewadin Casino Conference Center by calling Chelby Archambeau 906-632-6896 x.108\, or chelby.archambeau@itcmi.org .  Cancer survivors\, caregivers\, and health system staff attending this event will receive a gas-card to support transportation costs   \nEvent Details  \nEvent Name: HOPE Listening Session for Bay Mills Indian Community and Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians Date: Tuesday\, August 5 and Wednesday\, August 6\, 2025 Location: Kewadin Casino Conference Center\, 2186 Shunk Rd\, Sault Ste.
