This year's Youth GONA (Gathering of Native Americans) was beyond lit! We sang, danced, participated in team-building exercises, and we even saw orcas playing in the Sound! Massive thanks to all the attendees for their enthusiastic participation.

Besides being a lot of fun, events like this are essential to caring for the whole individual — their cultural, spiritual, mental, and physical health. When all four of these are in harmony, people thrive.

See you next year!

SIHB was created through the social justice movement of the 1960s, when Native activists refused to let urban Indians go ignored any longer.

Decades later, SIHB continues with the same mindset: holding institutions accountable so we can support our relatives and care for our community.

On this World Day of Social Justice, find out more about how we are supporting Native health all across Indian country:

Our Story

Seattle Indian Health Board is a community health clinic that provides health and human services to its patients, while specializing in the care of Native people. We are recognized as a leader in the promotion of health improvement for urban American Indians and Alaska Natives, locally and nationally.

Today, Seattle Indian Health Board operates two sites and is in the process of opening two more. We serve approximately 6,000 patients annually in King County, Wash., and more than 4,000 of those identify as American Indian and/or Alaska Native, and we employ more than 180 people.

Seattle Indian Health Board opened its doors to the community in 1970. In the 1960s, Native activists refused to let urban Indians go unseen and ignored any longer, which inspired the formation of a number of Native organizations, including the Seattle Indian Health Board. For the first time, urban Indians in Seattle had access to healthcare and services by organizations that were operated by Native people for Native people.
