Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP)

Grantees

Santee Sioux Nation

(Nebraska)

Program title: Wiconi Unki Tawapi—Healing Our Lives. The project educates tribal members about the importance of traditional healthy foods and physical activity through traditional food growing, harvesting, distributing, and preparing. The tribe expands on traditional food gathering practices. Activities include physical activity opportunities and social support through the Young Braves Youth Group and Elders Share the Past talking circles. The program encourages all to understand that “sometimes our traditional ways hold the answers.” The Santee Sioux Traditional Foods Young Braves program features outdoor, hands-on classroom lessons grounded in cultural heritage about foods and activity.
