The
Northern California Indian Development Council (NCIDC), along with local Tribes
and various partnering programs, will be hosting a Community Health and Wellness
Summit. The gathering entitled,
Weaving Wellness in Native Communities,
will be held March 31 – April 2, 2011 at the Blue Lake Casino and
Hotel. The summit is an opportunity
for the Native American community to come together to begin developing sustainable
wellness plans for individuals and Tribal communities. Participants will work together to access
tools, training and support to address issues of mutual concern. This will empower them to assist their
communities to create the change they envision based upon the culture and
traditions of their Tribes.
As
part of building and reinforcing a strong family unit, youth will play an
integral role at the meeting. A
youth track has been designed to provide information and resources targeted
to address their needs. Additionally,
selected youth will participate in a video documentation effort to capture
the process and results of the event.
This gathering will provide communities with an
opportunity to develop solutions to the problems that confront them. The summit will focus on the four key
areas Mind, Body Spirit and Community. Bringing balance to these components
of life will promote the type of wellness that will benefit Native American
individuals, families, communities and Tribes. For more information
