The mission of the Native Wellness Institute is to promote the well-being of Native people through programs & training's embracing the traditions of our ancestors.


Native Wellness is....
A traditional model to guide us along a path of
Balance. A holistic and integrated approach in the way we live our lives. The four directions of
wellness are: physical, mental, emotional and
spiritual. Striving for wellness depends on your
potential for personal growth. Native Wellness
embraces the teaching of our ancestors, living life in balance and with respect
Executive Director
Jillene Joseph

"The Board and staff of the Native Wellness Institute are excited to welcome you to one (or all) of our "Four Thousand from the Four Directions" regional wellness gatherings in 2007. This historic and grassroot effort is our way of bringing wellness to more of our people. Through our hard work and generous support from many tribes and organizations, we are able to offer these gatherings with NO registration fee! Please help us spread the word as we continue to bring positive messages to Native America! We hope to see you there."

Institute Song
"Walking Together.mp3"
(6.61 Megs)

"In 2005 Arlie Neskahi was asked to compose a song for the Native Wellness Institute.  This song represents the work we do and is a gift for the People.  Much thought and spirit went into the creation of this song and it is Arlie's wish as well as the Native Wellness Institute that you will use this song in a good way."

Leading the Next Generations Healthy Relationships Curriculum
The Native Wellness Institute has developed a first-of-its kind healthy relationship curriculum based in Native culture. This emerging evidence-based curriculum blends teachings of our ancestors with the realities of today's world. By learning about and maintaining healthy relationships with our partners, families, communities and the world around us, we can better live in balance and harmony and leave a positive legacy for the generations to come. This four day certification training is intended for Head Start, ICW, TANF, Domestic violence, Fatherhood, Healthy Marriage, Social and Education Services, Tribal Health, Youth Programs, and others interested in providing healthy relationship education in your community.
