4. CCUIH CORE Programing
Community Health Organizing CCUIH leads collaborative, community health organizing efforts to increase access to and improve the quality of health care for Urban Indian communities. We leverage UIHO clinic leadership, as well as grassroots community-guided efforts, to address policy needs and health care inequities for American Indians in California. Training and Technical Assistance CCUIH provides facilitation of culturally appropriate training and technical assistance seminars for consortium members and systems partners. Public Education and Civic Engagement CCUIH is dedicated to increasing visibility of Urban Indians, not only to bring knowledge of Urban Indian issues to the general public and policy decision-makers, but also to build a sense of belonging for Urban Indians through reflections of self and community in healthcare setting and online. Policy Advocacy CCUIH is a statewide resource on Urban Indian health information and related policy decisions. CCUIH monitors legislation and policy regarding local, state, and federal health care initiatives to ensure that Urban Indians are included in planning efforts to increase health care access and reduce health disparities of marginalized groups

8. and one in nine American Indians lives in a California City!
AMERICAN INDIANS IN CALIFORNIA
California has one of the largest populations of American Indians in the United States and is home to 723,225 American Indians of sole and mixed race (2010 U.S. Census). There are 110 federally recognized tribes in California, with an additional 75 petitioning for federal recognition. Nearly 90% of the American Indian population in California resides in urban areas (2010 U.S. Census).  The migration of American Indians into cities is due in large part to the federal relocation policies that began in the 1950s.
One in seven American Indians in the United States lives in California –
and one in nine American Indians lives in a California City!
