Caregiving

Nutrition & Exercise
Tools for Healthy Tribes was created through a partnership between the American Indian Healthy Eating Project and seven tribes. Using community-based participatory research, tribal leaders and members provided insight into their local food environment and the potential for community changes around healthy eating. The toolkit aims to provide tools and technical assistance to strengthen the capacity of tribal leaders to develop, implement, and evaluate community change around healthy eating and active living and to disseminate lessons learned to foster the translation of culturally appropriate, tribally led strategies to reduce American Indian health disparities nationwide.
