View Award Description

CDC Wellness in Indian Country - Southcentral Foundation is an Alaska Native owned regional healthcare organization providing health and related services to beneficiaries of the Indian Health Service and others in Anchorage and south central Alaska. The purpose of this 3 year project is to promote the wellness of Alaska Native and American Indian people in the Anchorage area by increasing knowledge of and access to traditional cultural healing practices. The long term outcome for this project is to reduce the morbidity and mortality attributable to cancer, heart disease, COPD, cerebrovascular disease, and diabetes that contribute greatly to reduced life expectancies of Native people by implementing three strategies. 1. Intergenerational learning opportunities that support wellbeing and resilience. Two main activities will be employed ? (a), training new Tribal Doctors and (b), operating a traditional fish camp where youth will learn traditional ways of catching and preserving fish from Elders. In addition to learning traditional ways and a healthy activity, youth will gain an appreciation for the health promoting aspects of eating wild caught fish. 2. Family and community activities that connect cultural activities and practices to health and wellness. Two activities will be used to implement the strategy. One focuses on individuals by facilitating group activities engaging in traditional practices including beading, drum making, Native song and dancing. The second focuses on the community level and includes collaborating with Alaska Native Villages and organizations in planning and implementing pow wows, health fairs, plant symposia, plant walks and talks and other wellness activities promoting use of traditional cultural practices. 3. Cultural teachings and practices about traditional healthy foods to promote health, sustenance and sustainability. Three activities will be employed. The activities are (a), providing narrative tours of the Traditional Healing gar den; (b), guided walks around the Alaska Native Medical Center campus pointing out indigenous plants used traditionally for their healing and wellness properties; and (c), holding a symposium on these indigenous plants that have traditionally been used for healing and wellness by Alaska Native people. An assessment of the program?s performance and progress in attaining the purpose of the project will be conducted. Toward that end, objective performance measures are proposed for each activity. These metrics will inform interested parties on the effectiveness of the strategies and activities selected as well as providing data for continuous program improvement. Short term outcomes expected by the end of the project are ? Increased number of urban Native youth provided opportunities to learn traditional ways that enabled Alaska Native people to adapt to and exist in the world?s harshest climate for thousands of years from Elders - the traditional source of that wisdom. ? Increased understanding of and engagement in healthy living practices. ? Increased ability to identify and understanding how indigenous plants can be used medicinally and to promote wellness.
