The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) is pleased to release the Working with Tribal Nations Training , a free, interactive e-course intended to build the capacity of state and federal government officials and other non-Native stakeholders to work collaboratively and effectively with American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes and Tribal systems. The training provides background on Indigenous people's contact with Europeans, how the colonial experience has impacted the health and well-being of Tribal populations and best practices for successful engagement with Tribal governments.

Created by NIHB with funding and support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Working with Tribal Nations Training is part of NIHB’s aim to expand knowledge about Tribes across all levels of government; elevate the visibility of American Indian and Alaska Native healthcare and public health needs; and improve non-Native government employees’ familiarity and comfort with working alongside Tribes.
