Today we honor Indigenous Pink Day, standing in solidarity with those whose lives have been affected by breast cancer. We recognize the strength, resiliency, and courage within our communities as we continue to support awareness, prevention, and healing together.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women and the second leading cause of cancer death for Native women. Native American women are more likely to be diagnosed at later stages compared to non-Hispanic white women, and approximately 1 in 8 women will experience breast cancer in their lifetime.

Let’s continue raising awareness, promoting early detection, and supporting our relatives on their healing journeys.

If you need help scheduling a mammogram or connecting to care, reach out to Native American LifeLines at info@nativelifelines.org.

Happy National Coming Out Day!

Today we honor all our relatives: those who are out and proud, those still finding their place, those keeping safe by staying private, and everyone in between.

Coming out looks different for each person. Whether you are just beginning your journey, choosing when and where to share, or not feeling the need to come out at all, know that your truth is valid and you are loved exactly as you are.

Native American LifeLines stands with our 2Spirit and LGBTQIA+ relatives in celebrating authenticity, safety, and self-determination.

Happy Friday! This is one treat you don’t want to miss. We’re raffling off an official Dave Matthews Band tour poster signed by every member of the band, a rare collector’s item that any DMB fan would dream of owning.

Even better, the poster was personally donated by bassist Stefan Lessard to Native American LifeLines, making this an incredible gift straight from the source.

Raffle tickets are $10 each, and you can buy as many as you would like. Every ticket increases your chances of winning and directly supports Native American LifeLines, a Title V Urban Indian Health Program serving Urban American Indian and Alaska Native communities in Baltimore and Boston.

Your participation helps us continue providing culturally grounded health and wellness services to our relatives.

The lucky winner will be drawn on Halloween (10/31/25), a fitting tribute to one of DMB’s most hauntingly good songs.
