Community: The Circle That Guides Us

In our work, community is everything. It is where our strength comes from, where our stories are told, and where the wisdom of our ancestors guides our path forward. At NIHB, all that we do is rooted in connection, collaboration, and the shared responsibility of building healthier futures for our people.

Gathering in Good Ways

When we gather in person, it is not just to meet—it is to listen, learn, and strengthen the bonds between us. Our events are spaces for Tribal leaders, health champions, Tribal citizens, and community members to come together in the spirit of unity. They honor tradition, celebrate culture, and lay the groundwork for the work ahead.

Honoring the Tribes and their Regions

Across the 12 Indian Health Service Areas, our Member Organizations stand as pillars of knowledge and leadership. They are of the people and for the people, deeply connected to the communities they serve. Through their work, they carry the voices and priorities of the Tribal Nations forward.

Walking Together

Our work is not ours alone. It belongs to the communities, the Nations, and the people who carry it forward. By staying rooted in community, we ensure that our journey honors the teachings of the past and the hopes of the future. Together, we rise.
