The goals of the AIHDP are to bring to light the health problems faced by indigenous peoples, to understand how we came to our unhealthy situations and what we can do about them. You will find no fry bread recipes here! This site also focuses on connecting with the natural world, finding ways to do our part to be responsible consumers and to halt environmental degradation.
NEW! Research links coming soon.
It is overseen by Devon A. Mihesuah, enrolled citizen of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
