Many thanks to MONAA for their financial donation to help fund our new Pregnant Teen Program. Muskogee Oklahoma Native American Association (MONAA) was established in December of 2018 by Michael Tarralbo, an elder from the Muskogee Native American community. He took a resolution to the City Council of Muskogee and they declared the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day in Muskogee!
The organization was established to preserve culture and language of all Native American community members. They also made it a mission to educate the community, and expose our youth to cultural practices and experiences. This mission has carried through their work in the community as they hosted Muskogee’s Indigenous Peoples Day, and hosted fundraising events to provide monetary support to organizations like the Murrow.
A quote from Madison Shoemaker, “With the organizations closing, we would like to donate a portion of our closing money to the Murrow Home because we believe strongly in their capabilities to not only provide quality care, but to provide a loving Native American family.”
