The Apache Way

The Ndee (Apache people) live by a set of common values, known as the Apache Way.

Within this system is a central belief known as Gozhǫǫ – that the Creator delivered revelation to the holy people, who then delivered it to us (Ndee). As we embrace Gozhǫǫ, we come to know well-being through feelings of goodness, balance, harmony, and beauty.

Izee֙ Baa Gowąh (Medicine House) is a name familiar to the Apache people. It not only describes the medical campus, but also points toward an aspect of treatment specific to Ndee.

Izee֙ Baa Gowąh opens a new pathway of Gozhǫǫ and healing. We have designed this space to treat our people, reinforce our history, and create a standard of wellness for our generations to come.
