Community Health Representative
The Community Health Representatives (CHR) Program was established in 1968, under the 1921 Snyder Act (25 U.S.C. 13). CHRs are frontline public health workers who are trusted members of the community with a close understanding of the community, language, and traditions. CHRs serve as a link between the clinical setting and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery. They assist by increasing health knowledge of patients and communities through a broad range of activities such as transportation to health visits, outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy.

- LATEST UPDATES
With the recent weather, many people are heading outdoors to forage for wild foods. Please note that updates to Iowa Tribal Fish and Wildlife laws mean non-Native individuals who do not reside on the Reservation are not permitted to forage on Tribal-owned lands. Native community members, including our citizens who do not live within the Reservation boundaries, can forage on Tribal lands.
This law does not apply to foraging on privately owned land. Landowners decide who can forage on private property, and should only occur with their permission.
Quick Note: ITKN Admin offices are now closed. We will resume regular business hours on April 7th at 8 a.m. Have an egg-cellent weekend. 🐰
