National Tribal Tobacco Conference
2022-05-16 - 2022-05-17
National Tribal Tobacco Conference
This conference, cohosted by the University of Minnesota and American Indian Cancer Foundation, will address the traditional uses of tobacco and commercial tobacco impact in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities across the U.S. A disparate proportion of AI/AN communities use commercial tobacco compared to other racial/ethnic groups. High prevalences of commercial tobacco use among AI/AN Tribes are directly reflected in the disproportionate rates of chronic diseases in AI/AN populations.
The conference will emphasize AI/AN persons returning to a healthy relationship with tobacco, the importance of creating health equity, and provide an opportunity for networking and collaboration.

The USDA APHIS Veterinary Services’ NADPRP program was established in the 2018 Farm Bill to provide funding to States, Tribes, livestock industry organizations, universities, and other eligible entities to support high-value projects focused on improving animal disease prevention, preparedness, and response. Since 2020, NADPRP has provided over $20M in funding to support 121 2-year projects. During the upcoming Tribal webinar, USDA APHIS will provide information about the program and explain how Tribes may apply for NADPRP funding. The webinar will include examples of projects that NADPRP has funded in the past to help stimulate ideas among Tribal partners about how similar projects could be conducted to similar projects to serve Tribal livestock producers, including small-scale and back-yard animal and poultry owners. This webinar will provide attendees with information about the program, the types of projects that NADPRP supports, and detailed information about how to apply for funds. They will also have a question-and-answer session.

Wildfire Crisis Strategy Region 8 Roundtable
2022-05-17 12:00 - 14:00, 2022-05-19 09:00 - 14:00 | Virtual Event
March 17 at 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern
March 19 at 10:00 am – 3:00 pm Eastern
Register
Wildfires in the U.S. have been growing in size, duration, and destruction over the past 20 years, reaching crisis proportions in the West. Nearly a quarter of the contiguous U.S. is faced with moderate to very high risk of wildfire; over half of that area at risk is in the West. This national emergency calls for decisive actions to protect people and communities and improve forest health and resilience. In response, the USDA Forest Service is developing a comprehensive 10-Year Strategic Implementation Plan with Tribes, employees and other partners to support the management and restoration of millions of acres of land toward improved forest health and watershed function and the protection of human infrastructure.
To facilitate the development of this plan, the Forest Service, in coordination with the National Forest Foundation, is hosting roundtable discussions in each of the nine Forest Service regions as well as nationally, to engage with Tribes, employees and other partners in the process.
Collaboration with Tribal communities is integral to developing this Plan. Forest Service-managed lands are co-located with and adjacent to Tribal lands and resources, including lands at risk for wildfire. Tribal practitioners bring critical knowledge and experience to wildland fire research and management. As a Tribe with in-depth understanding of the wildfire risk and unique challenges in your area, we would greatly appreciate your participation in the Region 8 Roundtable hosted virtually via Zoom on May 17 and 19. Click here for more information about the Roundtables.
The purposes of the Roundtable are to

Share information, goals, and timelines for the 10-Year Strategic Implementation Plan;
Collect Tribal, partner, and employee input to inform the Plan;
Provide an opportunity for dialogue among Forest Service leaders and partners to identify key needs and opportunities of the Plan; and
Gauge ongoing levels of interest and determine ways to leverage that interest and energy.

The Roundtable will take place over two days.

Day 1, Kickoff: Tuesday, May 17 (1–3 p.m. EDT)
Forest Service leadership will provide an overview and context for this effort and its significance in shifting the agency’s paradigm on wildfire risk and resilience. This portion also includes a Q&A panel session with Southern Area leaders.
Day 2, Roundtable: Thursday, May 19 (10 a.m.–3 p.m. EDT)
We will invite participants to share their perspectives during breakout session dialogues on the following key topics: the science behind wildfire risk reduction, cross boundary partnerships, workforce capacity, outcome-based prioritization and metrics of success, and market and industry. The discussion questions for each topic can be found here.

Native Food for Life Online Program to Prevent and Reverse Diabetes
2022-05-17 18:00 - 19:15, 2022-05-24 18:00 - 19:15 | Virtual Event
WHAT: Native Food for Life Online Program to Prevent and Reverse Diabetes
WHEN: May 3 to June 7, 2022 on Tuesdays, 6:00 – 7:15 PM Central Time
WHERE: Online via Zoom https://bit.ly/3BZhc0a
Native Food for Life Online Starts Tuesday, May 3 at 6:00 PM Central Time
For more information, contact Program Facilitator Marc Anderson (Seminole) and Nutrition Content Expert Tammy Robertson at: NFFLOclasses@gmail.com
The Native Food for Life Online Program to Prevent and Reverse Diabetes is a FREE six-class series starting May 3 that teaches healthy, culturally relevant, plant-based eating habits for individuals, families, communities, and workplaces where people have or are at risk for type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, or gestational diabetes, and how plant-based nutrition can help prevent and reverse them.
Eating a plant-based diet is linked to a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes. For those who already have type 2 diabetes, a plant-based diet has been shown to drop blood sugar, along with blood pressure, cholesterol and extra weight. Need for medication also drops. “The precontact diet of Native American ancestors in what is now the Southern and Southwestern United States was largely plant-based,” says chef Lois Ellen Frank, Ph.D., Adjunct Professor, Indigenous Concepts of Native American Food, Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, N.M.
Over the course of six 75-minute online lessons featuring cooking demos, nutrition lessons, and online discussions, participants will learn about the significant connection between food and diabetes, gain new cooking skills, try new recipes, and build new habits. Participants will gain knowledge, skills, and support to make and sustain significant dietary changes. These changes can prevent and, in many cases, turn diabetes around. The class details are as follows:
Tuesday, May 3, 6:00 – 7:15 PM, The Power to Heal Diabetes in Indian Country
Tuesday, May 10, 6:00 – 7:15 PM The Power of Your Plate
Tuesday, May 17, 6:00 – 7:15 PM, Blue Zones and the Magic 8
