Eagle Books: Native Diabetes Wellness Program

The Eagle Books are a series of books for young readers that encourage healthy living. They were developed in response to the burden of diabetes among Native Americans and the lack of diabetes prevention materials for Native American children. The colorful, Native American inspired characters in the stories promote healthy eating, physical activity, and diabetes awareness. The books were written by Georgia Perez, a community health representative in Nambe Pueblo, New Mexico, and illustrated by Patrick Rolo (Bad River Band of Ojibwe, Wisconsin) and Lisa A. Fifield (Oneida Tribe of Wisconsin, Black Bear Clan).

Each book presents its own health messages and can be read on its own. However, the books build on messages from the previous book, so Native Diabetes Wellness Program (NDWP) recommends reading them in order: Through the Eyes of the Eagle, Knees Lifted High, Plate Full of Color, and Tricky Treats

Video: The Story of the Eagle Books

This video tells the story of how the Eagle Books were developed. The books were written and illustrated for Native American communities to encourage children to make healthy choices. The themes of the books are: follow tradition, be active, eat healthy food, and make good choices.

Video: Our Cultures are Our Source of Health

Renowned Hollywood actor and Cherokee tribal member, Wes Studi, explains how American Indians and Alaska Natives are twice as likely to have diagnosed diabetes as non-Hispanic whites. Studi underscores the wisdom of cultural knowledge, including gathering and planting local traditional foods and playing traditional games, to promote health and prevent diseases like type 2 diabetes. In the dramatic short video, Studi relays the powerful message: “Our people and cultures hold the answers. Our cultures are our source of health.”

Tradition of Gratitude Posters

The Traditions of Gratitude posters were created to honor traditional wisdom and scientific-evidence using culturally relevant messages that promote health, type 2 diabetes prevention, and diabetes care. Each of the three posters—Standing Tall for 50 Years, Around the Fire, and They Changed the World!!—includes a narrative explaining its history and meaning.
