TUFH Community of Practice
Indigenous and Tribal Health
Guidance, shared stories and resources from Indigenous and tribal communities and those who work alongside them, grounded in tradition, participation and community collaboration.
Join the CommunityWhere to start
This community works differently from the others. Rather than a course, knowledge here is carried through sharing circles: people from Indigenous and tribal communities, and those who work alongside them, telling their own stories in their own words.

Voices of Care: Empowering Indigenous Tribal Health through Tradition, Participation, and Community Collaboration
The Global Health Action Brief for this community, setting out how traditional knowledge, community participation and genuine collaboration shape health for Indigenous and tribal populations.
It looks at what works when communities lead their own health, where external programs fall short, and what practitioners and institutions need to change in how they work alongside Indigenous and tribal communities.
Sharing Circles
A space for people from Indigenous and tribal communities, and those who work with them, to share their own experience in their own words. Each circle is a conversation rather than a lecture, and what is shared stays here for others to learn from.
If you would like to take part in a circle, we would be glad to hear from you.
