Through increasing knowledge, building community capacity, and enhancing systems, UIC seeks to increase the visibility of Urban Natives, creating a community that embraces cultural humility and in turn indigenizes existing infrastructures.
UIC will design curriculum and provide technical assistance in the areas of promoting native community wellness, cultural competency training and education, research, evaluation, Indigenous policy and advocacy.
Through Technical Assistance UIC will build partnerships with local health providers for greater health services access and help reduce misunderstanding and perceived barriers for Urban Natives.
