IHC Podcast features topics related to health and wellbeing, including Culture is Medicine Editions that focus on the unique health care needs of American Indians and Alaskan Natives. The podcast can be listened to on Spotify or viewed on YouTube.
This month's Culture is Medicine Edition features Areseña Equihua, also known as Ari, who is Yurok. She is majoring in film studies in hopes of transferring to a film school in LA. Ari has aspirations of becoming a screenwriter, editor, producer, and eventually a film director. She does freelance photography, videography, and works at the YMCA with youth. This episode explores the concept of authenticity of our art expression, especially after we learn to accept and love ourselves.

American Indian Heritage Month Recap
|
|
This past November was American Indian Heritage Month. During this month, we had the opportunity to appreciate the invaluable contributions of indigenous communities and celebrate their rich histories. IHC attended two Indigenous Heritage Month Proclamations, one at San Jose City Council and the other at Santa Clara City Council. At both events IHC CEO, Sonya Tetnowski, spoke about the significance of this month and the importance of preserving the traditions, languages, and stories of indigenous peoples.
We were deeply honored to receive an award for our leadership in community service and we are committed to ensuring that indigenous contributions continue to thrive for generations to come. It is important that we recognize and respect the unique and diverse cultures of indigenous communities and work together to preserve and promote their heritage. We will continue to support initiatives that honor and uplift indigenous peoples.
