Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP)

Grantees

Ramah Navajo School Board

(New Mexico)

Program title: Empowering Ramah Navajo to Eat Healthy by Using Traditional Foods. The Ramah Navajo community, also known as Tlochini’ Dine’, has developed programs to help prevent diabetes and other chronic diseases through the re-introduction of traditional foods, increased opportunities for physical activity, social support, and promotion of policy change. The program is re-establishing a sustainable dry-land agriculture system by conducting composting workshops which promote organic growing methods and water harvesting. The program is developing an “honor walk” that educates the community about Navajo Long Walk history and integrates a sustainable physical activity and social support program.
