Growing Ute: Logo

As part of the Obama/Biden Administration’s commitment to protect and promote the development of prosperous and resilient tribal communities, the Bureau of Indian Affairs received funding to support and implement a program called the Tiwahe Initiative. Tiwahe means family in the Lakota language and symbolizes the interconnectedness of all living things and one's personal responsibility to honor family, community, and the environment.

This Tiwahe Initiative tribal site, serving the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, was given the financial and administrative resources to develop a coordinated service delivery model that is centered on the needs of the family and community.
