        Find out what foods are right for your body
        
        Get blood looked at
        
        Observe how certain foods make your feel
      - Every diet book or study cherry picks data to support their agenda. Look at all diet resources, not just one, and always think critically about the information you trust and choose to incorporate - even ours!
  - - - INDIGENOUS VALUES THAT WE DEMONSTRATE THROUGH OUR FOOD CHOICES
      - CONNECTION TO EARTH (some people call it environmentalism) - was this food sustainably sourced?is this food being overproduced or exploited? is it local? is it culturally significant to me / my ancestors? is this a real food or is it a food by-product that was created in a factory?
      - GRATITUDE - no matter what i'm eating, even if it's "unhealthy," there are still ways to show gratitude toward the food, those who are sharing the meal, and those who prepared it
      - COMPASSION - were the people and lands along this food's commodity chain treated fairly and paid properly?
- - - - Age of Plenty - our genes are mismatched to how our bodies have evolved on the land

  - - - As it stands the current health care model is about treating symptoms of diseases that are diet and lifestyle related. By reconnecting with food a spiritual level we can begin to heal, prevent further diseases for better health outcomes.
      - There is a misconception that we age, get sick and die. Food choice and quality have everything to do with the degradation of health we're currently experiencing.
        
        Understanding contemporary health issues requires us to look into our recent history where colonial powers have and continue to assert their violent practices and policies to seize control of lands and its resources. This has created complex, multi-layered, intergeneration and historical trauma, that continues to create health disparities in today’s indigenous populations worldwide.
        
        Age of Plenty- as a result of the industrial age, we now have an abundance of unhealthy processed food. So we're overfed but under nurouished. This is just one example of how our genes are mismatched to our enviorment. Dominant culture has changed our enviroment faster than our genes can evolve.
        
        Oral tradition tells about the eating patterns of our people
      - Food is spiritual, cultural, economical, political and enviormental
