We’re casting Native youth (ages 14-18), veterans, and 2SLGBTQIA+ relatives for our next Native & Strong campaign photo and video shoot in Seattle.
Today, we honor the first peoples of this land and the truths they've carried through generations. Chief Joseph's words remind us that truth stands on its own. Generations later, Native people continue to live that truth through leadership, innovation, and community.
KAI is proud to join #TeamBlueWaterThinking as a partner on the Integrated Health Care
Transformation (IHT2.0) contract. This collaboration reflects our commitment to
community by supporting Veterans, families, and caregivers.
For generations, traditional healing has sustained our people despite policies that tried to silence it. Now, California's Medi-Cal system is recognizing these practices alongside Western medicine, creating a path for Native communities to access care that honors our culture.
California Tribes are doing powerful work to respond to opioid and substance misuse. This work is not easy, but you don’t have to do it alone.
If your community needs support, request free, culturally grounded technical assistance at http://SubstanceUseSupportAlliance.org.
Guidance, in a good way.

Happy PRIDE Month from KAI! We uplift the brilliance, love, and strength of our LGBTQIA2S+ relatives. We honor our Two-Spirit and queer ancestors who paved the way, and we remain committed to supporting communities where everyone feels safe, seen, supported, and loved.
