Journal History

Indigenous Stewards provides Native Americans an opportunity and platform to discuss the environmental issues that impact their everyday lives, health, and communities. Indigenous Stewards was built upon the ongoing tribal community engagement strengths of both the UA and UW COECs to address tribal environmental health disparities in the Southwest and Pacific Northwest. Conversations about environmental health and science with tribal leaders, scholars, and students guided the creation of the magazine.
