Today, we’re highlighting the Three Sisters—corn, beans, and squash—traditional foods that have nourished Indigenous communities for generations.

Corn provides essential fiber and vitamins.
Beans offer plant-based protein and support heart health.
Squash is rich in antioxidants and key nutrients.

As we move through this holiday, we invite you to learn from and honor Indigenous foodways that continue to sustain our communities.

From all of us at the Billings Urban Indian Health and Wellness Center, we wish you a safe and restful holiday.

A major milestone for our community!
Last Friday, we celebrated the groundbreaking of the expanded Eagle Seeker Clinic, located adjacent to the Eagle Seeker Community Center at 1125 Broadwater Ave.

This 35,000 sq ft, two-story health facility has been years in the making — and now we’re finally here, breaking ground!

The new clinic, developed by the Native American Development Corporation, will be home to Billings Urban Indian Health and Wellness Center and will allow us to expand our ability to provide comprehensive, culturally grounded care to the community.

What this means for our patients and families:

- Expanded primary care, mental and behavioral health, and optometry services
- Care that continues to honor Native culture and traditions — supporting mind, body, and spirit
- Greater access to equitable, community-centered healthcare for urban Native Americans in Billings

Construction is expected to take about 18 months, with completion projected for 2027.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us, shared their voices, and continues to support a healthier future for generations to come.
