Each month I think long and hard about my message to you all. May is one of my favorite months, Mother's Day! Things are slowly reopening and COVID is now in a new stage, the endemic phase. We are reintroducing programs, groups, and other services in person. Please keep watching our social media, newsletter, and website for more details.
It's been a long and difficult two years, but things are turning the corner. We know that working together (a collective effort) works and we can do more, together.
This past month, in April, we had our first in-person event in over two years, our Annual Prayer Walk. Hundreds of people attended this event and enjoyed a traditional Blue Corn Mush breakfast after the Walk. A good time was had by all and it was a great way for us to begin reintroducing in-person community events.
NATIVE HEALTH has been awarded funds from Maricopa County (supported through the Maricopa County Department of Public Health funding opportunity) to renovate NATIVE HEALTH Mesa. This renovation will facilitate the expansion of dental, optometry, podiatry, pharmacy, and telehealth services. We are excited to begin renovations to bring services to the residents of the east valley. Keep watching for more updates on how we're growing and our upcoming plans!
Our staff continues to provide excellent work and we recently had our Health Resources Services Administration (HRSA) review and we did extremely well. This review takes a lot of work, effort, and planning. Kudos to the amazing NATIVE HEALTH staff!
As I have mentioned in the past, NATIVE HEALTH is hosting our Annual Indigenous Wellness Camp, in late July, at Mingus Mountain Camp, outside of Prescott, in the cool pines. The youth (ages 9-12) have a wonderful time and come back with some very important lessons for their families. More information is in the Indigenous Wellness article block below.
As you know from my monthly letters, we're growing and in need of dedicated community members to help guide our way! If you are interested in being a member of our Board of Directors, please consider applying. There is a monthly time commitment, but you can make a difference in the direction of NATIVE HEALTH. For more information please contact Cherie.

Greetings from the Tribal Practices and Youth Resiliency Programs at NATIVE HEALTH. We hope that spring is bringing new growth and blessings your way. As the months go by, we hope that you are enjoying what our programs have to offer.
In the Month of April, Tribal Practices and Youth Resiliency Programs had great events such as the “Beading as Medicine Workshop” with Arizona State University – American Indian Student Support Services for Culture Week. We also had a great time at the NATIVE HEALTH Prayer Walk and shared great traditional food items such as Blue Corn Mush and Iced Navajo Tea. We also attended a lot of great outreach events!

Here is photo of a Navajo-Hopi Tea being boiled in preparation for the Read It and Eat Event in NATIVE HEALTH's Traditional Garden. Thank you to those families that participated and tasted the delicious iced Navajo-Hopi Tea!

NATIVE HEALTH's Youth Resiliency Specialist presented information and an educational display of Navajo-Hopi Tea also known as Greenthread or Thelesperma subnudum. This plant grows in Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada and up through Idaho. The tea has a lot of connection to culture and traditions as well as benefits. The tea plant flowers May to September so be on the lookout for some to harvest.
These events aim to engage the youth in traditional teachings and practices and our goal is also to connect the Native American youth to behavioral health services, and connections to other community resources.
Be on the lookout for some awesome summer events and activities that will include beading classes, traditional storytelling, and more!
May is also Mental Health Awareness Month and our Youth Resiliency program aims to get the youth connected to behavioral health services and engage in activities that bring support, education, cultural connection, and advocacy to support those who would like to seek services. Mental health is an important part of overall health and well-being. Please reach out to us if you would like more information on how we can help connect you, your family and friends to services as well as activities that will help make connections to others and promote self-esteem and wellness.

Spring Essentials for your Fridge and Pantry for Blood Sugar Management
The season of spring has arrived. You might get that urge to start house projects and deep clean- and the fridge and pantry are no exceptions.
As you start to toss out expired goods, you make room for new foods to take it’s place.
Keep these foods in mind the next time you go grocery shopping, to ensure you have access to nutritious foods that help manage your blood sugars too!
- Canned beans and lentils- they are high fiber and naturally low in fat. Beans and lentils are so helpful for managing cholesterol, blood sugars, and reducing risk of heart disease and colon cancer. Add them to salads, soups, stews, rice bowls, and chilis.
- Canned tomatoes- this is a base for any nutritious recipe: tacos, soups, stews, and pasta sauces. Combine your favorite herbs and spices and let your protein and veggies cook in the sauce. Delicious!
- Frozen fruits and vegetables- it makes it super easy to access fruits and veggies when they are already cut up and sitting in your freezer. Add them to stir frys, stews, soups, oatmeal, and smoothies.
- Ground chicken or ground turkey meat- they are low in fat and can make many different meals like meatballs, hamburgers, meatloaf and chilis.
- Precut vegetables- its so easy to open a bag and throw some veggies in a salad, or simply add them to a container with your favorite dressing for an afternoon healthy snack!
When you have nutritious food in the house, you will eat nutritious foods!
NATIVE HEALTH offers nutrition education and counseling, and nutrition programs, for adults, families, and children. For more information, please call (602) 279-5262.

NATIVE HEALTH's Indigenous Wellness Program |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Indigenous Wellness Program would like to acknowledge Mental Health Awareness Month, an annual event established by the Mental Health America organization. During this month, we encourage everyone to learn more about the effects of Mental Health and the disparities Indigenous peoples may face. It is also important to recognize and be a lending ear to those who suffer from Mental Illness.
Indigenous Wellness is not all about physical health, it also includes one’s emotions, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Here are a few tips to practice good well-being:
- Get enough sleep. Studies show that adults should sleep about 7 or more hours a night. For ages 13 to 18, the recommended time for sleeping is 8-10 hours per 24 hours.
- Tackling stress! This can be done by doing activities you love such as golfing, gardening, painting, etc.
- Talk about your feelings. As Indigenous peoples, it is in our DNA to be strong and resilient. But the strongest this you can do is be vulnerable. Talking about your feelings to a loved one or trained profession can help you stay in a good mental state and possibly give you access to the help you may need.
- Practice good and healthy coping mechanisms. This can include petting a pet, listening to music, squeezing a stress ball, practicing breathing exercises, etc.
- Staying Active. It is recommended to have at least 30 minutes of physical activity. This can be done by going on walks, playing at the park, dancing, yoga, etc.
Everyone goes through tough times and our loved ones help us get through it. Here are some tips to help someone who may be dealing with mental health issues:
- Let them share what they want. Opening up about your issues and emotions can be scary. Be a great support system by allowing the conversation to be at their own pace. Do not pressure them to talk about things they are not comfortable with.
- Talk about self-care. Talking about ways a person can de-stress in a health way. Exercising, having a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep can help protect mental health.
- Do not be afraid to offer help by seeking a professional.
- Know your limits. It is also important to take care of yourself and give yourself time to rest.
The Annual Indigenous Wellness Camp is back in person for 2022! This is our 20th year of offering a fun outdoor camping experience for Native American children, ages 9-12, and offers nutrition education, diabetes prevention, and physical activity. The Indigenous Wellness Camp will be Monday, July 25-Friday, July 29, at Mingus Mountain Camp, outside of Prescott in the cool pines!
Each child must complete the registration packet, have a physical completed by a NATIVE HEALTH medical provider, and be fully vaccinated from COVID-19.
Some camp activities we are planning is archery, fishing, ziplining, rock wall climbing, and cultural workshops related to healthy eating, movement, and physical health.
If you have any questions or would like to pre-register your child/ren please see the link below. If you have any questions, please email Amanda. For more information about Camp please click here.

NATIVE HEALTH's Home Visiting Programs |
|
|
|
|
|
|
In honor of Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week May 1-7, 2022, the Home Visiting Programs will share a breathing exercise from one of our favorite books “Breathe Like a Bear” by Kira Willey. We share these exercises with our families during our visits or Virtual Group Connections.
Why are breathing exercises important for kids?
Teaching children mindful breathing provides them with a simple but effective strategy for slowing down – emotionally, mentally, and physically, which in turn provides them with space to notice how they’re feeling and/or the opportunity to calm down in the face of overwhelming emotions.
It’s not about avoiding big feelings. Instead, breathing exercises can help a child feel more in control and ready to constructively process their feelings, or the stressful situation they find themselves in. The exercises help children develop greater emotional awareness and coping skills.
Breathing also helps kids:
o Feel happier
o Reduce stress and tension
o To lower a high heart rate and blood pressure
o Improve focus and concentration
o Learning coping skills they will use throughout their life
Let’s do a breathing exercise:
- Imagine a flower in front of you.
- It’s the most beautiful flower you’ve ever seen.
- Can you see all the colors of the flower in your mind?
- Imagine how it smells.
- Take a long sniff in through your nose and let all the air out through your mouth.
- Take another long sniff in through your nose and let all the air out through your mouth.
- Take another long breath in and let it all the way out!
- Repeat again if you need to.
The Home Visiting Program services families within Maricopa County from expecting mothers to the age of eight years old. Virtual and telephonic visits are available. For more information about NATIVE HEALTH’'s Home Visiting programs or to enroll, please contact Camille Miller at (602) 279-5262 x 3324 or email Camille.

The month of May is Mental Health Awareness month. As we continue to endure the pandemic, prioritizing mental health is still one of the biggest topics that have been introduced for overall wellness. Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being which coincides to how we react to stress. Our mental health can affect the way we think, feel, and our behavior on an everyday basis. Within the last two years we have experienced higher levels of stress, anxiety, grief, worry, and social isolation.
Among the many worries, a few would be: getting infected with COVID-19, losing your job, or worrying about family members. These small worries can pile up and cause an overwhelming feeling. Coping with those feelings and situations can be a lot to deal with, luckily there is help so you are not alone not will you have you feel like you’re alone.
As we strive to be better individuals daily, we should take into consideration the opportunities that we have available to us for seeking help and guidance. Did you know that your Arizona Medicaid (AHCCCS) does include behavior health services in most plans? You may ask your health plan which specialists are covered with your benefits. Taking the initiative to start a treatment plan with a certified behavioral health technician will help you practice that self-care. A better you can reflect a better lifestyle.
Your AHCCCS and Children’s Health Insurance Programs (CHIP) health coverage includes well-child checkups, dental services, and immunizations at no cost to you. Take the time to enroll within our AHCCCS and CHIP programs, its free and you will be on your way in no time! We offer in-person and over the phone enrollment.
Let us help you signing up or renewing your coverage from NATIVE HEALTH. Email Andrell or call (602) 279-5262 x 4105 for in person or telephonic assistance, days, evenings, or weekends. Get yourself, your family, and your children the health coverage they deserve and have one less thing to worry about.

NATIVE HEALTH's Traditional Garden News |
|
|
|
|
|
|
In April, we finished our first 4-week session of Youth Garden Club. Youth gardeners learned how to plant Indigenous seed varieties, how to harvest greens, about different methods of pollination, and more. Did you know there are over 1,000 native bee species in the Sonoran Desert, and that the honeybee is actually a non-native, invasive species that competes with native bee species? Youth gardeners also made Native language plant signs with plant names in Native languages and practiced saying plant names in Diné Bizaad. Look for their beautiful signs next time you are at the Traditional Garden!

Did you serve in the military between 1977 and 2005? The Arizona Department of Revenue may owe you money! The United States Department of Defense began mandatory Arizona income tax withholding on all active duty military pay on September 1, 1993 and continued withholding Arizona income tax through December 31, 2005. On November 22, 2000, the United States Justice Department issued a memo declaring that the taxation and withholding of state income taxes from active duty military pay of Native Americans domiciled on their reservation was impermissible. Beginning January 1, 2006, Arizona no longer taxed active duty military pay and therefore discontinued state income tax withholding on this type of income. The Native American Veterans Income Tax Settlement Fund was established on July 1, 2016 to refund Arizona income tax erroneously withheld from Native Americans who served in the military while claiming tribal land as their domicile from September 1, 1993 through December 31, 2005. During the 2017 Arizona legislative session House Bill 2158 was introduced to amend the original legislation when it was discovered the Department of Defense may have withheld Arizona income tax prior to September 1, 1993. Effective August 9, 2017, refunds may be claimed for years 1977 through 2005. For more information, see Pub 706 at go.usa.gov/xzPVr. If you served in the military between 1977 and 2005, please complete this form to file your refund request, https://azdor.gov/native-american-vet-settlement-fund-claim. Please act soon, your refund request must be received prior to December 31, 2022. If you need assistance, please call the Arizona Department of Revenue at (602) 255-3381.
