The Tribal Leaders’ Public Health Symposium (TLPHS) is a gathering of Tribal Leaders from American Indian tribes, pueblos, and nations across New Mexico and beyond. The goal of the TLPHS is to orient tribal leaders to practical knowledge and strategies that lead to successful public health governance and health advocacy at the tribal, state and federal levels.
Our approach to learning and teaching emphasizes Indigenous core values of wellness, reflection, and collective leadership. In that regard, CNAH recognizes that participants bring a wealth of prior knowledge to the TLPHS and are community experts already. Thus, we look forward to engaging in co-learning with all participants and hope that those who attend will also contribute to the broader conversation.

The Center for Native American Health (CNAH) has elected to postpone the TLPHS based on the concerns about the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Once the threat of exposure is deemed to be over, CNAH will again engage our partners and other key stakeholders in establishing the best date for the TLPHS. We will publish details of the event at a later date.
Thank you for your understanding as CNAH continues to participate in the prevention and educational preparation around the possibility of COVID-19 within our tribal communities.
