Grantees

Salish Kootenai College

(Montana)

Program title: Traditional Living Challenge and Ancestor’s Choice. The community is restoring indigenous permacultural practices and creating mentoring relationships with elders and youth. Emphasis is on traditional ways of learning surrounding food gathering, hunting, and preparation using traditional Living Challenge and Ancestors’ Choice health promotion interventions. Goals are accomplished through community collaboration and local, regional, and national partnerships for Ancestors Choice and RezChef expansion and distribution of food products and educational materials. Indigenous nutrition classes for children will be held using theater, song, puppet, and teacher training to encourage healthy food choices. Eagle Book stories are being modified in skits for children to include Ancestors’ Choice.
