The Indian Health Service signed a landmark agreement with Haskell Indian Nations University on June 1, 2026, to expand health and educational opportunities for American Indians and Alaska Natives.
Goals of the new agreement
The agreement aims to bolster resources for tribal communities through enhanced collaboration between the federal health program and the university. This development follows a period of significant federal investment in tribal infrastructure, including $700 million directed toward tribal water projects earlier this year.
