Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP)

Grantees

Nooksack Indian Tribe

(Washington)

Program title: Listen to the Elders: Healing Nooksack Health through History. The tribe strives to decrease the occurrence of diabetes amongst tribal members through increased adherence to traditional healthy diets and physical activity. The Healthy People 2020 indicators for physical activity, overweight, and obesity provide the framework for the program to achieve its goals, focusing on the cultural context of traditional foods and historical activities. Activities include elders building and maintaining organic gardens, which combine physical activity and traditional foods access. Improved access to traditional healthy foods is achieved by the development of a traditional foods cookbook. The cookbook is accessible online and includes traditional local recipes.
