Orange is the color of the shirt that was taken from 6-year old Phyllis Webstad on her first day of residential school. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations.

The Stewart Indian School in Carson City, NV now serves as a cultural center and museum to honor the survivors of the federal Indian boarding school system and the intergenerational impacts these institutions left on Indigenous families and communities.

At NICRP and NCHC, we honor this legacy by protecting children and ensuring , every single day. 🧡

We’re proud to be part of the strong partnership between NOMHE and UNLV and the collaborative work advancing health equity across Nevada. Congratulations to Tina Dortch on this well-deserved recognition

Our Office of Minority Health and Equity (NOMHE) has a close relationship with UNLV — so close, in fact, that NOMHE shares a space on campus in the UNLV School of Public Health Centers and Coalitions. In August, UNLV presented NOMHE program manager Tina Dortch with an award to say thanks for helping the university get recertified as a community-engaged institution of higher education through 2032. Here you see Tina with other key representatives of the NOMHE/UNLV relationship: Gabriela Portillo, program coordinator for the UNLV Nevada Community Health Coalition; and Dr. Amanda Haboush–Deloye, executive director of the Nevada Institute for Children’s Research & Policy. State Sen. Rochelle Nguyen described this UNLV shared space as “a hub for collaboration and innovation to strengthen Nevada’s commitment to equity, health and well-being for all communities, reflecting a shared dedication to a healthier Nevada."

🤝Supportive workplaces are key! Evidence shows breastfeeding rates drop when women return to work, but this can be reversed if workplaces support mothers.

National Immunization Awareness Month is a great reminder to learn more about vaccines that can help protect Nevada's communities from preventable diseases.

Whether you're welcoming a new baby, preparing for a new school year, or flu season is approaching, talk with your healthcare provider about immunizations 💙

🧱 Did you know? Many of the beautiful stone structures across our historic campus were built by the hands of Stewart Indian School students themselves.

As part of their vocational training, many students masterfully learned the trade of stone masonry, utilizing local source stones to build a legacy that still stands today. You can even spot this distinct style on historic buildings throughout Carson City and Lake Tahoe!

Our campus tells a complex story of heartbreak turned into a legacy of tribal tenacity and cultural preservation.

Come take our free, self-guided audio walking tour to hear these stories directly from Stewart alumni. We are open Monday–Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM.

Don't forget to visit our friends at the Brewery Arts Center tomorrow night to support the Stewart Indian School Cultural Center & Museum during the bucket brigade before Native-led blues rock band Indigenous takes the Levitt Stage!!!
