Stepping into the past to look toward the future. 📚

Last week WSU Spokane Native American Health Sciences wrapped up another year of their summer program, OLD WAYS. This program provided students with a deeper understanding of Indigenous history and concepts to grow their healthcare practices with traditional knowledge.

This summer's attendees toured the Fort Spokane Boarding School, learned the history of the Spokane Tribe of Indians, and received hands-on learning with traditional plants, teas, and medicines.

What a great way to end the summer and jump into the new school year! 🐾 🩺

Summer in the city 😍

We are grateful to former Rep. George Nethercutt who was not only an alumni of WSU, but also an advocate for WSU Spokane and our greater community.

Former Spokane Congressman George Nethercutt, who gained national fame by defeating House speaker, dies at 79 After beating Speaker of the House Tom Foley in 1994 as one of the stars of a GOP revolution, Nethercutt went on to serve 10 years in the House before an unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate. He later set up a foundation to inspire a new generation.
