Short Abstract:

The poor health status of Native Americans is a well known fact. However, this knowledge doesn’t cover the great disparities in treatment options for urban Indians. As the educational agency of the Urban Indian Health Programs (UIHPs), the National Council of Urban Indian Health (NCUIH) seeks to increase awareness of the grave health disparities affecting the country’s indigenous population. According to our mission statement, “NCUIH seeks to educate US policy makers on the substandard health care available to Native Americans as well as the federal government’s trust responsibility vis-à-vis its native population.” The constant challenges that UIHPs have faced in the last few years, along with the alarming proposal to zero out the Indian Health Care Improvement Act’s (IHCIA) Title V funds for the Fiscal Year 08 Budget demonstrate a continued need for educating US policy makers and mainstream media on the reality of urban Indian health and related issues.
