Native American Services (NAS)
The Native American Services (NAS) Program provides culturally responsive support for Native American, Alaska Native, and Indigenous individuals and families experiencing homelessness, housing instability, behavioral health concerns, substance use challenges, and other barriers to well-being.
NAS offers case management, resource navigation, advocacy, and referrals to both internal and community-based services. When a needed service is not available within our organization, we work closely with community partners to connect individuals to appropriate resources and supports.
Our culturally grounded groups include:
- Talking Circle – Every other Monday, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
- White Bison Wellbriety 12-Step Medicine Wheel Group – Every other Monday, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
- Cultural Arts Group – Every other Tuesday, 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM
- Clubhouse Group – Every other Tuesday, 2:00 PM to 4:00 pm PM
Through these services, NAS helps individuals strengthen cultural connections, build community, access resources, and work toward greater stability, healing, and self-determined goals. Participants have opportunities to engage in traditional and contemporary cultural activities, including regalia making, moccasin making, beading, jewelry making, and other Native arts. NAS also coordinates and participates in cultural and community events such as powwows, cultural celebrations, community feasts, museum visits, educational events, wellness activities, and other gatherings that promote cultural identity, belonging, healing, and connection to community.
