Our program offers supportive services to all families caring for Native American children who are in need of access to culturally specific services and training. Ina Maka Home Visiting program: Our Ina Maka home visiting program for newborn and young children offers families one-on-one time with home visitors who work with them to make sure they receive the support they need. Every family and child is met from a respectful and supportive place. We partner with families to encourage parent-child interaction, development-centered parenting and family wellbeing. Ina Makas unique home visiting program is completely voluntary. We work with you to make a schedule that works for you and the children you are raising. For most families, visits will be about one hour, twice a month. Parent Partners work with all caregivers who are a part of the childs daily life. During each visit, your Parent Partner will assist you in playing with your child and discussing a variety of topics. You can ask any questions or discuss concerns about child development or where to go for needed services.Our Strong Fathers program: UIATF OSF program meets Native American fathers unique needs through group and individualized support, Our Strong Fathers (OSF) is designed to meet Native fathers cultural and parental needs.

Meetings consist of talking circles, cultural crafts, parenting skills, mentorship, and traditional Native American singing (Drum Group). Daybreak Star Preschool: Daybreak Star Preschool, a high-quality early learning program rooted in Indigenous, play-based, emergent curriculum that sees children and their families as competent contributors to our community. Daybreak Star Preschool serves children ages 3 to 5 in full-day (9am-3pm) programs, with before and after school care available.Daybreak Star Preschool is a long-standing program of United Indians of All Tribes Foundation, whose mission is to provide educational, cultural and social services that reconnect Indigenous people in the Puget Sound region to their heritage by strengthening their sense of belonging and significance as Native people. While our primary goal is to serve Urban Native families and children, all families and children are welcome! We strongly believe that the childs first adults in their life (parents, foster parents, extended family, legal guardians) are the childs first teachers. We look forward to strengthening a partnership with you to create a strong foundation for life and school readiness.Traditional Medicine program: The Traditional Medicine program at United Indians is founded on the belief that our Native community thrives when Indigenous knowledge is celebrated and maintained. Housed at Daybreak Star Cultural Center on 20 acres of land inside Discovery Park, the program prioritizes the seasonal teachings of the land and our responsibilities to one another. Culture gatherings are the foundation of the program activities. We offer rotating community workshops on plant medicine (plant identification walks, tea and salve making), regalia making (sewing, beading) Native storytelling, spiritual practices and traditional foods. Each month we highlight a Traditional Plant Relative, anchoring our cultural workshops and activities to our monthly plant relative. Our program began with the cre
