Around the world, indigenous peoples are returning to traditional foods produced by traditional methods of subsistence. The goal of controlling their own food systems, known as food sovereignty, is to reestablish healthy lifeways to combat contemporary diseases such as diabetes and obesity. This is the first book to focus on the dietary practices of the Navajos, from the earliest known times into the present, and relate them to the Navajo Nation’s participation in the global food sovereignty movement. It documents the time-honored foods and recipes of a Navajo woman over almost a century, from the days when Navajos gathered or hunted almost everything they ate to a time when their diet was dominated by highly processed foods.

In May 1969, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the Indian Health Service, and the American Paediatrics Committee on Indian Health, cosponsored a Conference on Nutrition, Growth and Development of North American Indian Children. The conference emphasized the broad range of environmental and social factors which affect the health and development of Indian children. Particular attention was devoted to Indian diets and nutritional status and to the potential consequences of malnutrition. Papers included in these proceedings cover the following topics: child health and development; diets, growth and nutritional status; developmental consequences of malnutrition; field studies of malnutrition and child development; cultural stability and social change in North American Indians; and nutrition research and community service among Native American populations.
