The number of adults who smoke cigarettes continues to decline every single year , and the time has come to respect the voice of the future and honor the ancestors of the past by protecting everyone from the dangers of commercial tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure .

The mural above was created from community members and stories on their vision of what health and traditional tobacco looks like in their communities . We worked with artists Mario Henriquez ( VOTAN ) and Gregg Deal . This mural is at the Minneapolis American Indian Center . The project was funded and supported by ClearWay Minnesota in collaboration with the Native Youth Alliance of Minnesota and community members .
