Native Americans are one of the most disenfranchised and historically neglected communities in the United States. HIF is working to develop projects and services tailored to the needs of these unique and diverse communities. We are taking a holistic approach that will lead to sustainable impact by working within the context of specific tribes. This project has three primary focal points:
