April is Autism Acceptance Month—a time to celebrate neurodiversity and foster inclusive environments.
"The number of American Indian/Native Alaskan (AI/AN) children isn’t known, but a 2009 University of Minnesota study reported that AI/AN children with autism are 13 percent less likely to be identified than white children with the disability. This is not to suggest ASD is less prevalent in Native communities; tribal children just aren’t being diagnosed." (Hilleary, 2020)
Acceptance goes beyond awareness—it’s about recognizing and valuing autistic individuals for who they are. Let's continue learning from autistic self-advocates, challenging stereotypes, and making our spaces more accessible for everyone.

Honoring the Heartbeat: Mental Health & Wellness Powwow connects to traditional cultural practices to highlight mental health and wellness. Our cultural practices have been part of resilience and wellness for Native communities for generations. Powwows are often spaces that provide comfort and safety for Native communities. The drums serve as reminder of our heartbeat and our spirit’s connection to Mother Earth, we connect to our physical and spiritual selves by dancing and singing and we honor our relationships by coming together. Connecting to these cultural practices fosters healing, reflection, and celebration. While we know mental health impacts all people, Native communities are disproportionately impacted by mental health struggles. Our goal is to help our community use cultural practices to support mental wellness and remind them that we are here and it’s ok to ask for help. Honoring the Heartbeat highlights the resilience of cultural healing – where community, spirituality, and tradition play key roles in supporting individual and collective well-being.
