About TPWIC

TPWIC is a part of the Cultural Services department of White Buffalo which is a part of the Wind River Family & Community Health Care network operated by the Northern Arapaho Tribe. This project’s focus is to reduce illness and death from chronic diseases in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities by promoting wellness, resilience, and use of cultural practices. The Northern Arapaho are blessed with a strong, resilient cultural system that has remained intact regardless of the countless attempts to dissolve our way of life.
