Value Statement

Excellence

Respect

We respect and value all people, communities, and contributions by being honest and trustworthy and delivering culturally appropriate services with honor for our differences and recognition of our commonalities.

Compassion

We practice compassion, concern for others, kindness, and empathy.

Collaboration

We value collaboration through authentic engagement and partnerships with the individuals, families, and communities we serve.

Safety

We strive to protect and ensure the safety of individuals, families, and communities. 

Tribal Sovereignty

As an integral part of our value to collaborate with the communities we serve, we collectively acknowledge that our service area falls within the traditional homelands of the Dakota people. These lands continue to hold great historical, spiritual, and personal significance to not only the Mdewakanton Band of eastern Dakota but to other Indigenous nations that still hold an affirmation to this valued and treasured landscape that we all share and occupy to date. This acknowledgment recognizes and supports the unique relationship that the state of Minnesota holds with Indigenous nations and by offering this land acknowledgment, we affirm Tribal sovereignty and hold ourselves accountable to the sovereign Indigenous people and nations we provide services to.
