Indigenizing Wellness and Education
So’oh-Shinálí Sister Project
So’oh-Shinálí Sister Project (SSSP) is an Indigenous-women led nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the Native American and Indigenous community of Los Angeles County through intentional, intergenerational and inclusive services. SSSP was created by three Native American women driven to create culturally-rooted, community-driven wellness and education opportunities.
We are dedicated to indigenizing education and wellness by staying rooted in indigenous core values, practices, and beliefs passed on to us by the matriarchs in our family, our grandmothers. So’oh translates to grandmother in the Hopi language and Shinálí refers to paternal grandparents in Navajo or Diné while Shinálí asdzą́ą́, refers to one’s paternal grandmother. Each “S” represents the three sisters who brought this project to fruition and their continued commitment and dedication to serving the community that raised them.
Advancing health equity through cultivating contemporary visibility, fostering sense of belonging and empowering Native American and Indigenous relatives from within our diverse community.
