Check out SWCAHEC's new Indigenous Food Page featuring a cooking video and Indigenous cookbook with amazing recipes!

Food is more than what you buy in the grocery store and what you eat to survive. Indigenous food has culture, stories, songs, history, and relationships that are tied to traditions and the land. Prior to colonization, Indigenous tribes throughout North America were self-sustaining people in excellent health. Since Euro-American influence, the overall health and wellness of Indigenous communities continue to deteriorate. For many tribes the preservation of culture and identity have initiated efforts to reclaim and revitalize Indigenous food. SWCAHEC has developed an Indigenous cookbook and cooking demonstration as part of an AHCM grant funded effort.

Chelsie Begoody, SWCAHEC’s Community Health Programs Associate demonstrates how to make a healthy indigenous meal using blue corn.
