Services Provided & Mission
The entire staff of the MHA Nation’s Recreation Program will strive to provide the utmost quality Recreation Services to each of our six (6) communities on this great Fort Berthold Indian Reservation. It is our goal to serve our people with integrity, compassion, and respect through the utilization of team and individual recreational activities. Our primary objectives are meeting the needs of our people of all ages through structured reservation wide activities while promoting prevention, awareness, and intervention through the collaboration of other Tribal Health entities by means of offering our services on a consistent basis. We will do our very best to serve you.
We offer most programs on 6 week intervals as we invite all outlying segments to participate in our activities and we stress and encourage parent participation and involvement.
