Letter from the Publisher
When we look back through our days, we find enjoyment, love and peace as we remember relationships. As humans, relationships build us, save us, inspire us and make life fun. Healthy relationships provide for healthy lives. There is not much better in life than having friends, family, and a Creator that you can talk with anytime, about anything. Research is clear that a person living a life with healthy relationships gets through life better and lives longer. Our hope is that this issue of American Indian & Alaska Native Living will introduce you to new healthy relationships and add to your good health.

More than getting a good night’s sleep, healing rest means making space in your day to relax, and taking a day once a week for restoration.
