welcome to Calling Our Spirits Forward (COSF)
We empower tribal communities through culturally rooted strategies that are Indigenous Public Health Led to create sustainable positive change.
Our Mission
We empower Indigenous communities in Montana by addressing social determinants of health and providing sustainable public and community health resources. Led by 100% Indigenous Public Health Practitioners, we prioritize autonomy and reinforce Indigenous frameworks within our programs. Recognizing the limitations of Western frameworks, our integrated team implements culturally grounded approaches to healthcare. Our services encompass cultural wellness, trauma-informed practices, policy revisions, tribal health administration support, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training, educational health equity support among educational institutions, community capacity building, and community health engagement workshops, reaching tribal communities across Montana, both on and off reservations.
