Spotted Eagle Incorporated is helping the American Indian population in Milwaukee become more independent. Since 1974 Spotted Eagle has been helping native people including Native Alaskans and Hawaiians prepare to enter the workforce and become self-sufficient.
They work with adults to become empowered through employment. Clients work with career counselors to learn how to use job seeking resources and how to market themselves to employers. They also run an alternative high school for at risk American Indian youth.
