The University of Washington's Indigenous Wellness Research Institute (IWRI) is honored to be hosting the fifth International Network of Indigenous Health Knowledge and Development (INIHKD) Reclaiming Indigenous Ecologies of Love (RIEL) 2025 conference.

• • •

The INIHKD RIEL 2025 Conference seeks to elevate and amplify Indigenous voices and lovingly address critical health issues impacting Indigenous communities globally. It will provide an engaging strengths-based forum for international leaders to share, collaborate, champion, and envision a future of Indigenous health sovereignty, loving collective actions, and thrivance.

The conference will examine the multifaceted dimensions of love and health within Indigenous communities, focusing on the healing impact of Indigenous ancestral love on physical, mental, and spiritual health, culture, and community prosperity. It will highlight promising Indigenous health interventions, patient care approaches, health promotion, and disease prevention strategies, particularly in the context of pandemics and climate change.

The conference will celebrate the resilience and permanence of indigenous identities, cultures, and knowledge systems, which have shaped and continue to impact health systems at large.

Your participation is crucial to our collective effort in uncovering insights and strategies that deeply resonate with Indigenous communities around the globe. We value your contribution and look forward to your active involvement in the conference.

Keep RIEL and we will see you at Tamaya in April 2025!

IWRI Executive Co-Director Dr. Johnson-Jennings (Choctaw Nation)

We want to thank the Santa Ana Pueblo along with their lands, ancestors, and spirits for their hospitality in welcoming us to gather with them at the Tamaya Resort. As such, we must strive to be reciprocal, respectful, and humble guests here at the INIHKD 2025 conference.
