Huy, in the Coast Salish Indian Lushootseed language, means: “See you again/we never say goodbye.”

In that spirit, Huy (pronounced “Hoyt”) provides economic, educational, rehabilitative and religious support for Indigenous prisoners in the Pacific Northwest and throughout the United States.

“[F]or some Native American prison inmates, walking the red road in the white man’s iron house is the path to salvation, the way of beauty, and the only road to rehabilitation and survival.”
