Seeds of Native Health<https://t.e2ma.net/click/qx32g/y3d5cd/mueulb> is a comprehensive, national campaign to improve Native American nutrition through capacity building, education, and research, supported by the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community.  The campaign builds on localized efforts to solve the problems of Indian nutrition and hopes to raise awareness, spread knowledge, create capacity for change, and develop additional solutions on a broader scale. “Native American nutrition problems have many causes, but we know that good health starts with good nutrition,” said SMSC Secretary/Treasurer Lori Watso, a champion for the campaign who has spent much of her career in community public health. She provided the original idea for the SMSC’s nutrition campaign.
