Overview of Urban Indian Organizations (UIOs)
Urban Indian Organizations (UIOs) were created to fulfill the federal government’s healthcare-related trust responsibility for American Indians and Alaska Natives who live off the reservations. UIOs are managed by an Executive Director and a majority Native Board of Directors. UIOs are represented by the National Council of Urban Indian Health (NCUIH), which is the only national 501(c)(3), membership-based organization devoted to the development of quality, accessible, and culturally sensitive health care programs for AI/AN living in urban communities.
Client Profile
Direct Clients: NCUIH’s direct clients are all of the Urban Indian Health Programs constituting its Membership. Members provide an array of medical services to the urban Indian and metropolitan communities (in some cases, even to the larger community) in which they are located.
Some Urban Indian Health Programs are full primary medical providers (including behavioral and mental health as well as traditional American Indian healing) while others serve as referral centers. All of them, however, provide essential outreach and therefore a culturally relevant lifeline to their local urban Indian community. The 41 Urban Indian Health Programs are located in areas of the country to which the urban Indian population has migrated. These locations are:
- California (Los Angeles area, Bay Area)
- Oregon
- Washington
- Arizona
- Nevada
- Utah
- New Mexico
- Nebraska
- Colorado
- Oklahoma
- Kansas
- Texas
- South Dakota
- Montana
- Minnesota
- Wisconsin
- Illinois
- Michigan
- Massachusetts
- New York
- Maryland
Patients
It is important to mention that NCUIH and its membership provide services to all urban Indian people regardless of tribal origin. Through its work, NCUIH represents the health needs of all American Indian/ Alaska Natives who live in urban settings. UIOs serve AI/AN patients regardless of their tribal affiliation and promote cultural activities, which are based on shared experiences, traditions and cultural values.
