Intertribal Friendship House (IFH) is a renowned American Indian community center located in Oakland, CA. Established in 1955, it was one of the first urban centers of its kind in the nation, serving the needs of Native people who were relocated from reservations to the San Francisco Bay Area. IFH acts as an Urban Reservation and Homeland, providing a vital connection to culture and traditions through activities such as pow wow dance, drumming, beading classes, and various social gatherings and ceremonies.
More than just an organization, IFH is the heart of a vibrant tribal community, offering a sense of homecoming for its members. Recognizing the distinctive healthcare needs of Native Americans, IFH strives to provide culturally customized health services, addressing the unique healing approaches rooted within their culture. Through communal Powwow Drum and Dance, IFH offers high-quality care that spans generations, fostering healing for past, present, and future Native American communities.
