Vision
The Bemidji community will be a model for race relations in our state. We will embrace cultural understanding and respect between the Indian and non-Indian community, and strong participation of Indian people in every aspect of Bemidji community life.

Shared Vision is a community effort to address the issue of racial diversity and racial disparity. While the Bemidji community has much to be proud of, there is also recognition among community members that the community must do a much better job of addressing the issues of racial disparity and racial bias. If we are going to be the community we want to be, then we have to create expanding opportunity for all.
Our mission statement is clear about our role: to “be a catalyst that encourages the Bemidji community to work together to expand social, economic, educational and leadership opportunity for people of all races.”
We’ll be successful if a broad array of community organizations and individuals decide to participate, and if we find a way to work together. Exciting things are happening – we challenge you to join the effort by clicking here!
