+ WHO WE ARE +
The Native Wellness Institute recognizes the profound impacts of historical trauma and oppression on our people. We understand that historic trauma has led to present-day trauma in our families and communities. This is evident in the high rates of substance abuse, violence, gossip, negativity, poverty, and other destructive behaviors and conditions.
As Native people, we have the strength and resilience to move beyond and forward from the painful past, utilizing what our ancestors left us—prayer, faith, songs, dances, ceremony, language, and the perseverance to leave a positive legacy for future generations.
The Native Wellness Institute exists to help create an awareness of the origins of our negative behavior, provide opportunities for growth and healing, and most importantly, to help our people move forward in a good way. We do this by providing training and technical assistance rooted in Native culture that promotes the well-being of individuals, families, communities, and workplaces.
NWI lives and promotes the “Warrior’s Spirit,” which means paying the greatest respect to our ancestors by being as positive, productive, and proactive as we can, every day of our lives.
