long-term solutions


The resources on this page reflect the work of Indigenous and non-Indigenous thinkers on how to create a comprehensive health strategy that incorporates community and most importantly culture to develop lasting solutions. We understand that what was essential yesterday might not be what is essential tomorrow, and during unprecedented events it is hard to see a clear path ahead. If we've learned anything, it's that tribal nations are resilient when culture is the priority in decision-making.
