The Health News & Notes featured theme for July is “Food Sovereignty.” This publication highlights the election of Klamath Tribes Delegate Brandon Tupper as NPAIHB Executive Committee Secretary; the 16th annual THRIVE Youth Conference (focused on mental health, cultural activities, and suicide prevention for ages 13–19); and the first federally certified Behavioral Health Aide in Idaho (Kayla Dann of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes). The issue also provides updates on the Tribal Community Health Provider Program (TCHPP), Community Health Aide/Practitioner pathways, and Behavioral Health Aide recruitment; along with an award-winning NPAIHB poster on AI/AN data misclassification; the return of the We R Native Ambassador Program; successes of the NW Tribal Data Hub in advancing Tribal data sovereignty; and a guest article on Quinault Indian Nation youth harvesting and cooking traditional camas. In need of technical assistance? Please see the end of this issue for specific project contacts.
