What does it mean when we talk about Native foods and people? With over 600 Tribal Nations in the United States, almost half are located in the state of Alaska alone. In addition to Tribal Nations, Native Hawai'ian foods and cultural practices are closely related and often overlooked. During this panel discussion, registered dietitians who have rich, personal experience with the Indigenous population provide applicable strategies for nutrition professionals to deploy -- with any population. By drawing on the ancestral knowledge and food ways of Native people, the argument is made that food is more than its nutrient make-up.
