This project will expand culturally grounded maternal health and first foods programming for urban Native families in Detroit by increasing access to traditional food knowledge, lactation support, and Indigenous parenting practices.

Healthy Start empowers Indigenous families in urban Detroit by revitalizing first foods, supporting maternal wellness, and strengthening cultural ties—ensuring that Native parents can nourish, raise, and care for their children in ways that honor ancestral knowledge and uphold food sovereignty.
