We Are Star People

"To do the work of ancestors who prayed for the next generations, we are reclaiming our old wisdom and traditional healing ways that have been lost or misplaced. As Indigenous people we have always participated in tending to one another, that is caring and being ...observant of the need of others." - Dolores Subia BigFoot, PhD

Check out the latest blog post on the KAI website beautifully crafted by Dr. BigFoot, presidential professor at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center where she directs the Indian Country Child Trauma Center and a senior advisor to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center both located within the Center on Child Abuse and Neglect.

Thank you to everyone who joined the third Washington Tribal Wellness and Resiliency Gathering from May 28-30, which laid the foundation for future programmatic work that takes strengths-based, cultural approaches to suicide prevention.⠀
⠀
The gathering featured Calina Lawrence ...(Suquamish Tribe) as the keynote speaker who shared her journey of resilience and the importance of being proactive. Being proactive and taking an upstream approach to suicide prevention was a common theme among the presenters. As Sia Moiwa and Natika Baker from Sources of Strength shared, it can be helpful to have reactive supports downstream - lifeguards who pull us from the river should we fall in. But working upstream - walking up the river to find out why people are falling in to start with - has the potential to set people on the right path from the start.⠀

June is Pride Month!! KAI extends our love, energy, and support to all those celebrating in solidarity with our LGBTQIA2S+ family and community. We recognize the discrimination, prejudice, and social/health disparities many two-spirit relatives face in the larger society and also sadly within our ...own communities and families.

We honor all human beings as sacred creations. We marvel at the beauty of all creation. Celebrating Pride Month is celebrating the significant cultural value LGBTQIA2S+ Natives have had throughout post colonial history and their continued contributions our communities.

Please join in celebration of Pride Month as it’s expressed all across Turtle Island, in parades, powwows, drag shows, spoken word, community parties, and other events.
