Discover the heart of the Echadi Indigenous Medical Alliance (EIMA).
Vision and Mission Statement
To advance the health and well-being of our members by preserving and practicing Indigenous healing traditions that embrace the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. Through a holistic framework that integrates therapeutic approaches—conventional and non-mainstream—we promote health and wellness by combining the wisdom of Indigenous healers with modern insights. Our mission is rooted in the principles of Article 24 of UNDRIP, ensuring the conservation and ethical application of our traditional medicines, ceremonies, herbs, manipulative therapies, and spiritual practices.
Who We Are

Grounded in Article 24 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), we preserve the rights of our people to access traditional medicines, ceremonies, and holistic treatments, ensuring that these practices remain vital, respected, and accessible for current and future generations.
