Highlights the implementation of Oregon's Senate Bill 13, an effort to include more Indigenous history and perspectives into the state's schools curriculum.
Authors note that Canada’s new Healthy Eating Strategy does not address social determinants of health (childhood environments, gender, Indigenous status, income, education and occupation) as root causes of poor diet quality; they suggest that a reduction of diet inequities will require policy change.
In response to the negative experiences of Indigenous populations within the Canadian education system this paper discusses the role of elders and knowledge keepers to help create a more positive educational experience for Indigenous students.
