Native American Services (NAS)

Programming

Native American Services (NAS) has been facilitating Talking Circles and culturally-celebratory programming since 2003, and has expanded to include dedicated Outreach Case Management and White Bison Inc.’s “The Red Road to Wellbriety” recovery groups.  

Weekly Talking Circles are a vital part of the Coalition’s Native American Services program. Talking Circles are considered a sacred space where Indigenous Peoples share information and stories confidentially to promote healing in their lives and build community. Find the scheduled Talking Circle Gathering times through the calendar below. 

Native American Services Outreach Case Management works collaboratively within CCH, especially with providers at the Stout Street Health Center and colleagues in the Department of Outreach and Engagement Services, and externally with homeless service providers and Indigenous-serving organizations to maintain optimum care coordination, communication, and continuity of services for our unhoused relatives. 

In addition to the weekly Talking Circles at CCH and in other community locations, NAS also offers Red Road to Wellbriety recovery groups and classes twice annually and coordinates a calendar of seasonal events, outings, and celebrations. 

Native American Services is a program for all Indigenous Peoples from a wide spectrum of Tribal Nations seeking support, recovery, and connection to culture, including those who may have little or no concept of their history or traditions.  

No referral is needed. All Indigenous people are welcome to join our Talking Circles and other cultural programming, but please see the calendar for more details.
