Eagle Books

The Guide includes more than 60 pages of cultural, physical, and nutritional activities. The activities, designed for classrooms (Head Start through 4th grade) and other community sites (e.g., home, libraries, community centers), are organized into five areas--storytelling, native culture and health, learning about healthy foods, participating in physical activity, and diabetes prevention. Many activities are cross-curricular, integrating health and physical education, social studies, science, art, and math. Teachers will find lists of suggested vocabulary and selected resources accompanying each activity, with vocabulary definitions and more extensive resource references provided in the resources section, including information about type 2 diabetes, eagles, and American Indian and Alaska Natives.

Produced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Native Diabetes Wellness Program with support by the Indian Health Service Division of Diabetes Treatment and Prevent and the Tribal Leaders Diabetes Committee. Also available via the World Wide Web as an Acrobat .pdf file (857.14 KB, 66 p.).
