SAID 36th Annual Conference From the land of 10,000 lakes: Indigenous Strength and Dental Health
This year’s conference theme—From the Land of 10,000 Lakes: Indigenous Strength and Dental Health—celebrates the resilience, knowledge, and community that continue to shape Indigenous dentistry today. Our gathering brings together members, colleagues, and allies to share knowledge, strengthen connections, and honor the deep cultural roots that guide our work in oral health.
From engaging educational sessions led by dental professionals and community leaders to meaningful opportunities for conversation and collaboration, this conference is a space to learn from one another and celebrate the strength of Indigenous communities. Together, we explore innovative approaches to dental health while honoring the traditions and values that continue to guide our path forward.
Thank you for being part of this year’s gathering. Your participation strengthens our collective mission and helps advance the future of Indigenous oral health.
