You are cordially invited to attend the documentary screening, Native Transformations in the Pacific Northwest: Stories of Strength in a Public Health Crisis. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institutes of Health’s Tribal Health Research Office (THRO) are hosting this screening in honor of Native American Heritage Month on November 13 at 1:30 – 3:30pm ET.

If you are local to the DC area or will be in town and would like to attend the documentary screening in-person at the NIH campus, please reply to this email for additional details and to reserve a seat.

The film builds upon the Indigenous-led Native Transformations Project, a research collaboration funded by NIDA led by the Northwest Indian College in partnership with three Coast Salish Tribes. It follows four individuals from different Tribes as they share their experiences of strength and resilience to overcome the impacts of the opioid crisis. The event will begin with opening remarks from NIH’s Director, Dr. Monica M. Bertagnolli. Following the documentary the NIDA Director, Dr. Nora Volkow, and the THRO Director, Dr. Karina Walters, will facilitate a panel discussion with several community members who appear in the documentary.

As DEI efforts face criticism and are being defunded in some states, DEI leaders say the work is essential to improving health care for all. A new AAMC fact sheet on DEI in medical schools further explores this important issue.
