Today we stand with our brothers and sisters across Turtle Island, both in Canada and the U.S. to say, "EVERY CHILD MATTERS!" On this year's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Nokomis Strategies staff wear orange in honor of all boarding school survivors and their communities and to remember all the children that never returned to their homes. We are proud to be serving so many Nations that are actively rebuilding all that was lost including language and traditions. We will recover and we will be stronger.

Happy Autumn! It's already getting colder here in Anchorage, and the sun sets after only 12 hours of sunlight. The fall migration has begun as nature prepares for winter. While Turtle Island prepares for the rest and recovery of winter, we hope that you and your community also find peace and comfort in your transition out of the hurry of summer.

Nokomis Strategies was honored to have the findings of one of our latest studies, "Advancing Health Education Pathways for Tribal People," at the 2026 American Indian/Alaska Native Healthcare Workforce Development Summit on August 21 in the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona. The report was presented by Dr. Derby, a hub champion for the IHEART east and southern plains region, and an American Indian physician. It was a mixed methods assessment (including a survey and interviews) to better understand what currently exists for young American Indians on the east coast and across the southern plains for pathways into healthcare careers. We considered it a pleasure to work on this report to give more visibility into the greater healthcare education system and to be featured in such a big way at the IHEART Summit.

Native youth are vital to the strength, culture, and future of our communities. At Nokomis Strategies, we believe each of us can help youth feel seen, supported, and connected.

A young person may need additional support if you notice:
· Increased alcohol or drug use
· Changes in personal appearance or hygiene
· Withdrawing from family, friends, culture, or community
· Saying goodbye to loved ones
· Giving away meaningful possessions
· Depression, anxiety, or significant emotional distress
· Changes in eating or sleeping patterns
· Experiencing or engaging in violence
· Expressing intense anger, hopelessness, or feeling like a burden
Reach out with care. Listen without judgment and ask how they are doing and what support they need. Let them know they do not have to face their pain alone.

If there is an immediate concern or crisis contact the 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting #988.
