Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center’s Culture Department and Circles of Strength welcomed Valarie Chadwick of the Algaaciq Tribe of Alaska in March. Valerie led a discussion about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives (MMIW/MMIR), traditional healing, mental health, and wellness. There was also a traditional meal of hullcorn soup with wild rice, chili, biscuits, and a wild rice berry dish.

Congratulations on a successful event!
