Indigenous Peoples Project
The Indigenous Peoples Project, a service program of World Institute of Holistic Therapies, Inc.. has, since 1997, been providing Native American People with cost-free holistic health treatment and education, quality health products, and help planting organic vegetable gardens upon reservations where there is the greatest need and the fewest resources.
Although there are individuals and organizations offering conventional medical care to people on reservations, such as Indian Health Services, many Native people have to travel a long distance to access conventional services. What sets the IPP apart is that our Project Directors visit reservations several times each year to provide services that emphasize holistic, natural and non-invasive health treatments, and that focus on self-responsibility and life-style education that is congruent with native culture. This is accomplished through home-visits, local on-site clinics, organic cooking classes, and yearly planting projects.
