March 2024 Gathering Grounds: Putting the Tribal Principles to Work: Indigenous Community Member Perspectives on the Tribal Opioid Settlements
We are excited to welcome back Andrea Medley, Research Associate at the Center for Indigenous Health, John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Andrea will be joined by members of the Indigenous Advisory Council, Lee Torres, Arlene Brown, and Pamela Hughes, who will guide us in a discussion centered around their work in support of the Tribal Principles and experiences in substance use/opioid related work.
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.
