Muckleshoot Indian Tribe

Sponsorship for hosting Northwest Area Donor Tour

The name of this project is Sxecalik, meaning "Cultural Arts Project." This Cultural Arts Project main purpose is to inspire people. We will create a Cultural Arts Project with the Muckleshoot Tribal College, Muckleshoot tribal artists, Northwest Indian College, Muckleshoot College & Career Program, and, the Muckleshoot Language Department.

The ultimate motivation of the healthy beverage campaign is to 1) Increase awareness of sugar content in popular beverages. 2) Provide culturally appropriate alternative beverage options through creating a healthy beverage toolkit including health promotional posters, a recipe book, a curriculum and a healthy beverage station model. 3) Disseminate the campaign by offering a nutrition education training summit to health champions working in tribal communities. Ultimately, this campaign aims to address nutrition related health disparities in tribal communities through culturally relevant nutrition education, increased consumption of local fruits and vegetables and an increase in the incidence of home cooked meals.
