All systems are interrelated: Multilevel interventions with indigenous communities
Description
Colonial history and ongoing racism have harmed Indigenous peoples for generations, causing health problems that continue today. Despite this, Indigenous communities and researchers have worked together on multi-level health programs that show promise. This paper explains why these programs are needed, points out limits in current frameworks, suggests a new approach that focuses on community and environment instead of just individuals, and calls for more action in future research.

About Our Practice
The Seven Sacred Directions
Seven Directions was born from a desire to create greater connectivity across the many tribes, communities and organizations that have the health and wellness of American Indian and Alaska Native people at the heart of what they do. We are guided by the “seven directions” of practice: Integration & Holistic Wellness, Culture & Identity, Families & Communities, Respect for Sovereignty, Service, Indigenous Knowledge, and Tribal Governance.
The Seven Sacred Directions serve as an indigenous framework for presenting the strategic directions for the public health agenda.
