Diabetes: Notes from Indian Country (2000)

In 1993, a report by the U.S. Public Health/Indian Health Service revealed that 40% of American Indians over 40 living on reservations had diabetes. This video explores community-led solutions to this health crisis on the Winnebago Indian Reservation in Nebraska, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, and the Porcupine Lakota community in South Dakota. It features Lorelei DeCora, a Winnebago public health nurse, who presents a compelling case for using culturally relevant methods to treat and prevent diabetes in Native American communities.
