Leech Lake Tribal College
 
 
 
Diabetes and other food related health issues are significant across the community served by Leech Lake Tribal College. Student and community access to healthy food choices are limited, and awareness and understanding of how nutrition impacts long-term health is low. The Leech Lake Tribal College Land-Grant Committee is creating a coordinated plan for the utilization of Land-grant funds towards common goals that will increase the health of the community and provide educational opportunities for student development. While the land-grant committee is still in its infancy, we plan to research and create an organizational structure for securing stakeholder inputs and ultimately hope to develop collaborative projects between the college and the community. Land-grant offices are pursuing the development of a holistic Community Health and Vitality Program. The TCU/VISTA will be vital to the development of this program and will carry out these three Community Health and Vitality components of the project: Community Health and Vitality: Internship/Field-Trip Program Develop a ‘short-term’ internship program in health and wellness fields that provide opportunities for students in cities beyond the reservations immediate boundaries. Develop a ‘long-term’ internship program in health and wellness fields that provide opportunities for students nearer the reservation. Community Health and Vitality: Whole Foods/Native Foods Curriculum Development Research and develop Curriculum (both for-credit and extension) to be utilized in the Whole Foods/Native Foods Hands on Learning Program utilizing the LLTC Community Garden, LLTC Community Kitchen, and the Chippewa National Forest CHV component of this project. Community Health and Vitality: Whole Foods/Native Foods Community Resources Coordination Coordinate Community Resources to accomplish both the ‘Curriculum Development’ and support implementation of the new programs.
