Official statement from the Fond du Lac band regarding the fire on Franklin today at the Fond du Lac Band urban office

IMPORTANT COMMUNITY NOTICE: MINNEAPOLIS
URBAN OFFICE FIRE
Aaniin gakina awiiya,
We are writing to share an urgent real-time update with our community regarding our Fond du Lac Band's Minneapolis Urban Office, located within the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe building at 1308 Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis.
The Minneapolis Fire Department and emergency crews are currently on the scene actively working to suppress a major fire at this location.
This is an incredibly sad and heavy moment for our relatives down in the Minneapolis metro area, for our dedicated Fond du Lac Band staff who use this space to care for our community daily and for our Fond du Lac Band as a whole. This building is a vital lifeline where our staff comes together every day to feed, support, and uplift our people. Hearing the heartbreak of our frontline staff processing this loss in real time reminds us just how deeply rooted this office is in the lives of our urban relatives.
Thankfully, there are no reports of injuries to any community members or staff. Our thoughts are also with the responding firefighters who are working to control the blaze.
Because the situation remains active and the building has suffered significant damage, the Minneapolis Urban Office will be closed for operations until further notice. Please do not travel to the facility at this time so that emergency personnel can maintain clear access to the scene.
We know how much our community relies on the daily care provided at this office. We ask for your patience as our Band navigates this crisis. We are actively monitoring the situation and will provide clear, verified updates as soon as we can safely plan for temporary service adjustments and find new ways to continue our support.
Chi migwech to the first responders, and a deep chi miigwech to our community and dedicated staff of our Minneapolis Urban Office for your resilience, love, and support during this difficult moment.

Sometimes I struggle to get my laundry folded but one trip to the laundromat with everyone around me getting that handled is all it took - also these dryers do really get the job done

Big salute incoming - I think the captain does that regardless of his audience but it would be interesting if he does even more of a dramatic salute for Duluth with all the folks lined up on the piers to wave

You bet your butts I sang along loudly to closing time as requested - hopefully no matter where people are in their love/hate journey of the song @semisonicband.bsky.social never gets tired of singing it because I have no love/hate journey only love for this song

Traced it all the way to the rail yard for the local railroad - I have no idea why people are friends with me but I immediately bugged my friends with this big important news…almost as good as seeing it go along county rd C finally

It’s soooooo hard to be Rosie when her toys are piled on the poof to vacuum she can’t lay on it and chew on her bone (she definitely could move her toys she just prefers to be waited on)
