Who We Are
The National Native Network is a public health resource that serves to decrease commercial tobacco use and cancer health disparities among members of American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes across North America. We are a national network of Tribes, tribal organizations, and health programs that provide tribal communities with culturally relevant resources for commercial tobacco control and cancer prevention.
We strive to decrease cancer-related health disparities among AI/AN communities and promote the roles of traditional tobacco and other traditional medicines and ways of living, thus improving public health while protecting tribal sovereignty.
