2017 Grantee
CCUIH is dedicated to increasing visibility of Urban Indians not only to bring knowledge of Urban Indian issues to the public and policy decision-makers, but also to build a sense of belonging for Urban Indians through reflections of self, wellness and community in healthcare settings and online.
How the program contributes to peace and social consciousness:
