Native American 'Aunties' Raise Funds to Feed Migrants

Cecily Hilleary

   WASHINGTON - A group of Native American women from several tribes in
   Oklahoma have launched a nonprofit organization they're calling the
   "[1]Auntie Project: Native Women of Service."

   Their goal is to help indigenous kids in need, beginning with child
   migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

   The idea came to them in June, after hearing that the U.S. Department
   of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement
   (ORR) would move 1,400 unaccompanied migrant children to Fort Still, a
   U.S. Army post near Lawton, Oklahoma.
