Native Health Initiative

One of the foundations of NHI is that "loving service" serves as our primary funding source; this creates an atmosphere where trust, honesty, integrity, and friendship become the method for our work. We are also quite fortunate to have donors to provide monetary funds for things that require $ (e.g. Youth Leading the Way project grants)
