COMMUNITY INPUT

 What would help Milwaukee’s American Indian Community

fight Type 2 Diabetes?”

 “Special food Pantry”  “Have a conference/summit”  “Education, education, more education…in homes, schools,

community centers”

 “Outreach, information on where to purchase healthy foods,

exercise classes, cooking classes, prevention should be geared towards children educating about healthy eating habits. “

 “An indigenous restaurant with a healthy menu...or maybe

something like a small organic/indigenous co-op with a counter and a few tables for dining and workshops on shopping, gardening, cooking, etc.”

 “Educational workshops, availability to healthier food including

traditional foods, monetary assistance with purchasing / receiving healthy foods”

 “Awareness, education and access to healthier choices.”  “Better access (transportation, location of markets, prices) to more

traditional Native foods.”
