The 3rd National Conference on American Indian and Alaska Native Injury & Violence Prevention, being held at the Oneida Resort Hotel in Green Bay, WI from Wednesday, July 15 - Friday, July 17, 2026, is hosted by the Indian Health Service (IHS) in collaboration with national and Tribal organizations committed to advancing injury and violence prevention in American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The conference is supported through collaboration with the National Network of Public Health Institutes (NNPHI), Safe States Alliance, and Seven Directions. Together, these organizations promote knowledge exchange, collaboration, and community-driven approaches to preventing injury and violence across Tribal and Urban Indian communities. This conference brings together Tribal, Urban Indian, federal, state, and community representatives to strengthen injury and violence prevention efforts through the sharing of practical strategies, promising practices, and lessons learned. It provides a dedicated space for connection, learning, and collaboration grounded in Tribal perspectives and community experience. Grounded in the theme Journey Forward: Protecting Our People, Advancing Our Nations, the conference honors the strength, resilience, and leadership of Tribal communities while creating space to reflect, learn, and move prevention efforts forward together. This year’s conference will offer a dynamic program featuring interactive workshops, engaging roundtables, informative breakout sessions, and inspiring keynote presentations, all designed to encourage learning, collaboration, and meaningful dialogue.
