Preventing Cardiovascular Disease in Native Communities
Many of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) are preventable, which indicates that lifestyle is a key risk factor. Behavioral change interventions attempted with AI/ANs that focus on lifestyle have begun to incorporate Native cultural traditions, or cultural capital. This article discusses one such Native-based intervention conducted on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana, which used…
Cultural Capital and the Tribal Diabetes Prevention Programs
Since 1998, the US Congress has funded the Special Diabetes Programs for American Indians and Alaskan Natives (SDPI). These funds are administered by the Indian Health Service (IHS) and have been awarded to more than 330 IHS, tribal, and urban Indian health programs in thirty-five states to build or enhance diabetes mellitus (DM) treatment and prevention programs. Over the past thirteen years, these community-directed programs have emerged as mod…

Introduction
Promoting Cultural Capital in a Medical Camp for American Indian Youth with Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus, a disease that previously was characterized with an onset in the fourth decade of life or later, is now being diagnosed in children, particularly children from minority groups, including American Indians. Because children with the disease are frequently asymptomatic, they tend to ignore recommendations from their health care providers about appropriate self-management behaviors, thus increasing their risk for early onset…
"It Is Not Just Diabetes"
In this article, we examine cultural capital within the contexts of ethnography, community-based participatory research (CBPR), and holism. Because many chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes are influenced by lifestyle choices in which culture plays a central role regarding perceptions of illness and health, it is important to understand how patients and their communities perceive these cultural factors. We outline how CBPR can be used as …
A Stream Is Always Giving Life
Rare in Indian country just sixty years ago, type 2 diabetes mellitus is now woven into the fabric of losses in tribal communities across North America. Westernized lifestyles, with coincident obesity and physical inactivity, are powerful risk factors for this relatively new "disease of civilization." The web of causation is thicker and wider than obesity and physical activity alone, intertwined by historical, economic, environmental, and sociolo…
Politics of Culture in Urban Indigenous Community-Based Diabetes Programs
This article examines community-based approaches to the prevention and management of diabetes in the indigenous urban community of Toronto. A critical perspective of the concept of cultural capital in health promotion is provided to move beyond a functional representation of culture in addressing health inequalities and the production of health. Community-based programs are contextualized within the historical, cultural, and social relations of i…
Beyond Cultural Competency
As notions of cultural competency have risen to prominence in health care, some of our most powerful models and strategies come from successful tribal health care. In this chapter, we deconstruct notions of cultural competency, rebuilding this important aspect of medical practice under Bourdieu's model of reflexivity (1986). We outline a critical discourse of cultural competency based on a processual (and distinctively anthropological) model. In …

Cancer Control Research Training for Native Researchers
Although Native populations suffer a disproportionate cancer burden, studies of risk reduction for cancer incidence among Native peoples have not been strongly supported by federal or private funding sources, and few published data are available to assess the success of cancer control efforts among Native community members. Furthermore, cancer etiologic investigations and cancer control studies in Native populations have not commonly included Nat…
Implementing Women’s Cancer Screening Programs in American Indian and Alaska Native Populations
The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program provides funding to tribes and tribal organizations to implement comprehensive cancer screening programs using a program model developed for state health departments. We conducted a multiple-site case study using a participatory research process to describe how 5 tribal programs implemented screening services, and to identify strategies used to address challenges in delivering servic…
