The AIPHRC team had the opportunity to present at the 2026 National Tribal Health Conference, focusing on food sovereignty, the Indigenous Food Sovereignty Emerging Leaders Program (IFSELP), and the importance of investing in Indigenous youth and community strengths to build workforce capacity.
We were also honored to be joined by three IFSELP cohort members, who shared their experiences and reflections on participating in the program.
It was great to reconnect with our cohort members and engage with community leaders from across Indian Country, learning more about the impactful work taking place in Indigenous communities.
Miigwech/Pidamayayapi/Thank you to the Gila River Indian Community for welcoming us onto your homelands. We also extend our gratitude to the National Indian Health Board for the opportunity to share AIPHRC's work and for hosting an outstanding conference.
