Since 2016, RISE has been reclaiming the Muslim woman's narrative through Muslim Sheroes of Minnesota. After featuring 35 Sheroes on our digital platform, we heard from our community that our stories must be told through the traditional medium of a book in order to preserve our cultural heritage and identity as Minnesota Muslim women. By collecting these stories in a book, we will showcase a narrative about a collective of Muslim women changing our state for the better.
This project will finalize the Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) watershed model construction and complete the calibration/validation process. The consultant will produce an HSPF watershed model that can readily be used to provide information to support conventional parameter TMDLs. The consultant will clearly demonstrate that this model generates predicted output timeseries for hydrology, sediment, nutrients, and dissolved oxygen which are consistent with available sets of observed data.
The Mustinka River winds through five counties in west central Minnesota and empties into Lake Traverse, a border waters lake with excellent fishing and recreational opportunities. For several years, sections of the river have been negatively impacted from too much soil/sediment eroding from the land and washing away into the water. Excess sediment degrades aquatic habitat and feeds algae blooms. This project continues a 2012 Clean Water Fund collaborative effort to develop a plan to reduce the amount of sediment washed into the river.

The Mustinka River winds through five counties in west central Minnesota and empties into Lake Traverse, a border waters lake with excellent fishing and recreational opportunities. For several years, sections of the river have been impaired for turbidity due to too much soil/sediment eroding from the land and washing away into the water. Excess sediment degrades aquatic habitat
and feeds algae blooms.
The Mustinka River Fish and Wildlife Habitat Corridor project will permanently rehabilitate a 5-mile straightened reach of the Mustinka River to a naturally functioning stream channel and floodplain.
The Minnesota Visiting Nurse Agency (MVNA) has revised and expanded their history book, first printed in 2002 to honor the organization's centennial, for a second printing. The revision includes historic photographs, excerpts from sixteen oral histories and updated information on the organziation's continuing efforts. The book, titled Caring For The Community Since 1902, was printed in January of 2011 and is being distributed, at no cost, to donors and potential donors, government officials and other decision-makers to raise awareness about the MVNA and it's continuing work.
Myrtle Lake experiences frequent nuisance algae blooms and does not meet Minnesota state standards for total phosphorus and chlorophyll-a. This has led to questions whether the productivity and condition of the lake has changed over time, what the natural or historical condition of the lake was, what the current trajectory of the lake is, and how to set effective management goals.
Ragamala requests support to develop and present Mythology Makes Us: The Kannagi Festival. This project is a celebration of Tamil (Southeastern Indian) culture an aspect of Indian culture not often featured in the U.S. Through dance, dialogue, film, and food, we connect past and present, and explore how immigrants can draw on our cultural archetypes to inform a better, more just, and more inclusive future.
Storytelling is central to contemporary Native American life-ways, yet, there is an extremely limited number of published works by Native authors. By amplifying Native authors, all Minnesotans will have access to literary works that connect the public to the vital and thriving Native American culture that Minnesota is rooted in. AMRA's Native Authors Program creates opportunity and placemaking for Native authors who are not given access to other workshops at more established writing programs.
