The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) is excited to announce the next session of our 2026 Tribal Public Health Webinar Series! This series is part of our ongoing commitment to build capacity, share resources, and support Tribal Nations and the public health workforce across Indian Country.
We will explore how public health authority is rooted in sovereignty, how it shows up in everyday Tribal governance, and why it matters for building strong, self-determined health systems. Participants will learn how Tribal Nations use this authority to respond to community needs, create their own public health laws and codes, manage data, and lead prevention and wellness efforts that reflect their values and knowledge. This session will support Tribal leaders, health staff, allies, and partners by offering a clear understanding of how public health authority works and how it strengthens Tribal health systems.
It will also guide allies and partners in how to respectfully support Tribal public health priorities and uphold the sovereignty that drives these decisions.
What You Will Learn
How Tribal Nations are actively shaping public health policy and practice within their own jurisdictions
Examples of how Tribal governments use legal and governance tools to respond to public health needs
Approaches Tribes are using to design public health systems that reflect community values and priorities
How Tribal-led public health efforts strengthen long-term readiness and community well-being
Key considerations for working alongside Tribal Nations in ways that honors their decision-making authority
Who Should Attend
Tribal government leaders and staff involved in health, governance, or policy development
Public health practitioners working in Tribal, intertribal, state, or local settings
Organizations that collaborate with Tribal Nations on health-related initiatives
Professionals supporting public health planning, preparedness, or systems development

National Poison Prevention Week
National Poison Prevention Week
National Poison Prevention Week (NPPW) 2026 is March 15th – 21st. This year's theme is, "When The Unexpected Happens."
In 1961, the United States Congress established the third week in March as National Poison Prevention Week (P.L. 87-319). During this week, poison centers across the nation unite to increase poison prevention awareness.
You Can Make A Difference!
Below are a few simple ways that you can make a significant contribution:
Learn how to prevent poisonings in several situations and take action! Educate family, friends, and fellow community members about the importance of preventing poisonings.
Order poison prevention materials to be distributed within your community.
Save 1.800.222.1222 to your cell phone contacts. Poisonings can happen at any time and at any place.
Share, Like, and Follow Us: Facebook (@nm.poison), Twitter (@nm_poison), and Instagram (@nmpoison). There will be lots of fun activities and educational information posted on our social networks.
We are always looking for partners to help us spread poison prevention education! Download the 2026 NPPW Tool Kit to kickoff a lasting collaboration with the New Mexico Poison Center!

This session will support Tribal leaders, health staff, allies, and partners by offering a clear understanding of how public health authority works and how it strengthens Tribal health systems.
It will also guide allies and partners in how to respectfully support Tribal public health priorities and uphold the sovereignty that drives these decisions.
What You Will Learn
How Tribal Nations are actively shaping public health policy and practice within their own jurisdictions
Examples of how Tribal governments use legal and governance tools to respond to public health needs
Approaches Tribes are using to design public health systems that reflect community values and priorities
How Tribal-led public health efforts strengthen long-term readiness and community well-being
Key considerations for working alongside Tribal Nations in ways that honors their decision-making authority
Who Should Attend
