The presentation will include a brief overview of the demographics and social determinants of health specific to the American Indian/Alaska Native population. We will also discuss the variability within this population and discuss the importance of recognizing that variability. For instance, there are over 550 federally recognized tribes in the United States and each tribe is unique in its history and foodways. So what role do dietitians have in counseling this unique population? How do we ensure we are delivering equitable healthcare to this population, while including Indigenous cultural and traditional foods? There are unique challenges for each Indigenous community and it is important to recognize the context and history of these challenges to provide equitable healthcare. These challenges stem from a long history of globalization and colonization, which has disrupted access to food, basic utilities, and opportunities to education and income. We will discuss the presenter's experience as a Diné/Navajo Registered Dietitian working on the Navajo Reservation, located in Northeastern Arizona and the strategies she has used over the years to support her patients in making healthy behavior changes tailored to fit their unique needs.
