Lesson Enhancement: Cedar Box Teaching Toolkit
|
|
The Cedar-Box-Teaching-Toolkit is an educational resource featuring important native foods in Salish Country and the rich cultural traditions that surround them. The foods were selected because of their high nutritional value, cultural significance, and reasonable availability. Educators can use the cedar box toolkit in a variety of settings including classrooms, community workshops and other educational events. This toolkit can be adapted for your home community by adding your own community knowledge, stories, artwork, preserved foods and language.

Native Youth and Technology Use |
|
In 2020, We R Native surveyed Native teens and young adults on their technology use and health information priorities and preferences. Altogether, 349 AI/AN youth took part in the survey, and 93% reported using their phone to get online at least once a day. Here’s what else they told us!
We also contracted with MarketCast to learn more about Native youth’s conversations on social platforms related to health and wellness. This is what we learned from their Phase #1 Report and their Phase #2 Report. We’ll be sharing these data on our social media channels in the next few weeks.
