| About Us Mission Statement? In 1982, a group of Chicago American Indian Elders gathered with the shared vision of creating a place of prayer for their Indian community. The dream came to birth in a small storefront in Uptown, with the help of two Sinsinawa Dominican sisters. This place of welcome was named ANAWIM CENTER, in the language of the Hebrew scriptures (Old Testament) "Anawim" refers to:
Anawim is a place for Indian people to practice their traditional form of worship. Various Indian leaders conduct traditional spiritual ceremonies when visiting the community. A variety of Native spiritual, religious people have used and will continue to use Anawim for ceremonies. There are seasonal feasts, which is a tradition among many Woodland and Great Lakes Nations and Tribes. We have served the Native American community for the past 25 years, with the combined efforts of Native Elders and community volunteers. Our current Director is Sister Patricia Mulkey, OSF, Assistant Director Mrs Georgina Roy (Ojibwa) and Catechist, Evangelization Outreach Director Mrs. Jody Roy (Ojibwa) |
