The Gun Lake, Nottawaseppi Huron, and Pokagon Bands—all federally recognized Potawatomi tribes located in their ancestral homeland in southwest Michigan and/or north central Indiana— have formed a consortium: the Bodéwadmi LAUNCH Consortium. The Bodéwadmi LAUNCH Consortium promotes the wellbeing of Potawatomi children from birth to eight years of age living in its service area by addressing the physical, social, emotional, cognitive, behavioral, and cultural aspects of their development. The Bodéwadmi LAUNCH Consortium builds on existing tribal and culturally relevant programs and develops new programs that empower families and children, particularly those enrolled in the four Tribal Health Clinics and three Tribal Head Start Programs.
