Welcome to the Outreach Connections: Native Health Information Wiki! This wiki is designed to serve as a collaborative space:

• for those who work with health care providers serving Native peoples (American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians).
• for those who work with Native health information consumers.
• to improve health information access for Native peoples.
• to exchange information from health information promotion and training experiences.
• to complement sites already focused on health information for Native peoples.

We invite librarians, patient educators, and others who provide health information to Native peoples and their caregivers to contribute your project to the wiki. You can include outreach projects, education and training projects, resources you've developed, and descriptions of research you've done. We hope you share information about technology you've used, observations you've made, and advice you have for others who would like to do something similar. If you are willing to share training/teaching materials or other related materials under the Creative Commons non-commercial share-alike license, please post them. If you have never used a wiki before, please visit our tutorial first.

All material submitted to this site is shared under the Creative Commons non-commercial share-alike license so that you can borrow and adapt the resources for your own use. Please be sure to read our disclaimer, and then start exploring our "participatory network." Welcome!

For announcements and discussion about the site itself, visit our Community Portal. Get involved!
