Health Problems

Not Enough Native Nutritionists

If more Native people were nutritionists, then Native people would be more inclined to listen to health advice. Many tribespeople may be suspicious of outsiders telling them what to eat and how to exercise. If the information comes from another Native person or trusted non-Native ally, however, then they are much more likely to pay attention. It is up to us to spread the word about healthy living and the best one to talk about it is one who actually lives it.
