Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP)

Grantees

Cherokee Nation

(Oklahoma)

Program title: Cherokee Nation Healthy Nation/Foods Project. The Cherokee Nation promotes the cultivation, gathering, preparation, and preservation of traditional Cherokee foods and uses traditional Cherokee games for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. Due to dispossession of lands and relocation, many of the traditional Cherokee foods practices have been lost or practiced by only a small portion of the Cherokee population. Many of the practices and knowledge exist with the elders of the Cherokee Nation. This project works to retain and disseminate that knowledge.
