Culturally adapting nutrition education programs like CMAH for Indigenous communities is a nuanced process requiring respect for both shared and individual traditions. While recipe adaptation improved cultural resonance, persistent barriers to traditional food access and the diversity of community perspectives highlight the need for flexible, community-driven approaches. Building sustained, trust-based relationships and involving local knowledge keepers are essential for effective, culturally sensitive health interventions. Ultimately, supporting Indigenous food sovereignty and tailoring programs to local contexts are crucial steps toward reducing health disparities and revitalizing traditional foodways.
The study demonstrates that successful nutrition education in Indigenous communities requires more than simply adapting Western models; it necessitates genuine partnership, flexibility, and a willingness to honor Indigenous values, ways of knowing, and definitions of success. Federal programs like SNAP-Ed must shift toward community-driven evaluation and support, building trust through sustained relationships and co-creation. Elevating Indigenous voices in policymaking and program design will foster more effective, culturally relevant, and healing approaches to food and nutrition in Indigenous communities
