Envisioning Healthy and Flourishing California Indian Communities in 2025

We see culturally re-vitalized and self-sufficient communities with holistic care and healing places to promote health and well being to the individual, the family and the community; weaving traditional and western practices into a successful life way.

We see communities where people treat each other with respect and make Responsible choices for themselves and for their families. In these communities Indian youth are happy with who they are, athletic, busy, loved and surrounded by family members and tribal elders who know and respect their culture and language.

We see communities where people are competent at working with the Institutions of the dominant society and comfortable with other communities and their cultures.

We see CRIHB pro-actively supporting collaborative opportunities with shared funding, services and staff based on identified community needs.

We see the CRIHB network leveraging the voice of California tribal Communities to strengthen advocacy to increase and improve access to quality healthcare.
