Native Americans make up 6 to 7% of the population in Montana and experience health problems at higher rates than the rest of the population. Headwaters Foundation invests to support thriving Native American communities in Western Montana. We work with organizations that serve Native Americans, are Native-led, and address social and economic barriers to health.
