Andrew Bacon (born 2001) is an Ojibwe rights advocate from Minnesota. He is a member of the White Earth Band of the Chippewa tribe and is the first Ojibwe to hold a meeting with the president as a minor. He also is the first minor to serve as an area director for the Duluth Indian Rights Service, an organization that provides support to Native American tribes and Native American public health programs across the Arrowhead region of Minnesota.

Andrew is currently enrolled at Duluth East High School in Duluth, Minnesota. He began fightsung for Ojibwe rights in 2013, at the age of 12, when he led his first rally held in downtown Hermantown. He attributes his bravery and desire for change to his parents, stating, “My parents have always supported me in all that I do and have showed me the importance of using my voice ever since I was young.” He went on to say that without his parents, he would not be where he is today.

Andrew says that he is determined to continue to help the Ojibwe nation in any way he can, and is excited to see what the future holds.
