Honoring Traditions of Health and Wellness for Cancer Prevention

The “Honoring Traditions of Health and Wellness for Cancer Prevention” is a project that will use modules from the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) Circle of Life (COL) curriculum with a policy approach to support access to healthy foods. This project has received funding from the North Dakota Comprehensive Cancer Control program to implement the COL with AI in the Fargo Moorhead Area through the Fargo Moorhead Native American Center (FMNAC); however, this funding does not cover all the supplies needed for the sewing circles or small media development. The NPCCCP funding will be used supplement the supplies, incentives, and the to develop digital stories on the 4 leading cancer deaths among AI/AN: 1) lung 2) colorectal 3) liver 4) breast. Cancer screening education is proven effective when using a multi-component approach, including small media and one-to-one education.
