  • Traditional Foods & Recipes on the Wild Side
    Native Women’s Association of Canada Diabetes Self-Management Toolkit for Aboriginal Women Traditional Foods & Recipes on the Wild Side This booklet has been developed to complement the NWAC Diabetes Toolkit. It is intended to pro- vide some cultural context, as well as information about traditional foods. You’ll also find a few recipes on the wild side! Enjoy... Diabetes is often referred to as a "lifestyle disease". Its rampant spread is believed to be linked to obesity, an increased reliance on the western diet and lack of regular exercise. The following statement is general knowl- edge, and practical advice: Eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise is the most important thing a person can do to maintain good health. So what can we do to improve our general health, while preventing and/or controlling diabetes? This question was asked of Aboriginal women throughout Canada, and the answer was not a surprising one. Increase tradi- tional knowledge, culture and identity among our people, go out into our lands and be Indian, eat the foods that Turtle Island has provided us, take care of our environment, and most importantly, teach our children and grand-children so that seven generations onward, they too have the opportunity to lead healthy happy lives. This booklet seeks to provide only a fraction of information, and is meant to inspire some thought about poten- tial lifestyle changes for your, your family and your community. It is not about directing change; change must come from within. You will find in the first few pages, the Haudenosaunee Creation Story and a section on the “Three Sisters”, feel free to collect and add your own stories to this toolkit.

It has been prepared for Aboriginal women, their families and communities by Aboriginal women. Introduction to Toolkit Diabetes has grown to epidemic proportions among the Canadian Aboriginal population. Many of us know someone who has diabetes or we may have diabetes ourselves. This lifelong disease touches many of us and impacts our health, the health of our families and communities and the health of our Nations. As Mothers, Grandmothers, Aunties, Sisters, and Wives, Aboriginal women play an important role in sustaining the health of our families, communities and Nations, and future generations. It is upon this foundational understanding that NWAC began its work to address diabetes and increase aware- ness and prevention mechanisms across Canada. The evolution of this Toolkit has taken several years and is the result and dedication of the many Aboriginal women who first envisioned a diabetes-free people. NWAC was founded in 1974 with the collective goal to enhance, promote, and foster the social, economic, cultural, and political well-being of Aboriginal women within both Aboriginal and Canadian societies. NWAC is committed to advancing Aboriginal women’s health through education and awareness.
