| Part III, Line 4d | | Description:, Expense Amount:, Grants Amount:, Revenue Amount:| High Mountain Preserve land survey for Munsee Ceremonial stone landscapes contract for michaeline picaro, $0, $0, $0| for year 1; Native Americans NA suffer from worse health poor nutrition reduced quality of life and shorter lifespans than their non-Native counterparts. 1 This is due mostly to disparate disease burdens inadequate education food instability disproportionate poverty loss of infrastructure and cultural practices as well as contaminated soils that grow traditional food sources. One out of four Native Americans experiences food insecurity compared to one out of eight Americans overall. 2 A combination of high rates of food insecurity poverty and little access to nutritional food has caused the quality of health among NA to plummet.3 In addition Indigenous populations continue to be exposed to disproportionate amounts of toxic waste as a product of environmental injustice. 4 Such is the case for the Ramapough Lunaape Turtle Clan Tribe in Ringwood New Jersey who live in homes inside a 500-acre Superfund site created by a decade of industrial dumping of thousands of gallons of paint sludge and other waste. 5 To date no culturally meaningful interventions have been implemented for the Ramapough Nation that could promote health and well-being. In addition the lack of federal recognition has deprived the Ramapough Nation of any benefits for which federally recognized Tribes qualify e.g. food distribution programs on Indian reservations. We propose to build on our equitable eight-year Tribal-academic partnership with the Ramapough Nation of northern NJ to advance tradition-centered farming practices and management strategies supporting sustainable food systems to relieve local food insecurity and nutritional deficiency prevent disease and promote health. Thus it is hypothesized that a complex array of factors including living close by toxic contamination psychosocial stressors displacement and isolation have led to a loss of Native food sovereignty and sustainability; and that food security and cultural food practices can be renewed through community-engineered farming and educational strategies. Specific Aim 1: Assess the extent of environmental contamination individual toxicant burdens and micronutrient levels and health disorders in Ramapough Tribal members of both sexes. 1.a. Collect in-person online survey information on demographics health and food intake nutrition food security and psychosocial stressors and perform core anthropometric measurements i.e. height weight body mass index body circumference and blood pressure at enrollment on Tribal members to inform health promotion strategies and community actions. 1.b. Determine individual-level contaminant burdens and micronutrient concentrations e.g. iron calcium folate vitamins in urine and blood from surveyed sub-aim 1a Ramapough Turtle Clan volunteers. 1.c. Test soil plants and surface water where Turtle Clan residents live recreate and attend church in Ringwood NJ using a community-based citizen scientist approach. Specific Aim 2: Adapt and implement a community-centered farming program on the Munsee Three Sisters Medicinal Farm land informed by a design studio approach. 2.a. Facilitate consensus building activities to identify and prioritize best practices that promote food sovereignty sustainability and jointly create culturally- and traditionally-based environmental health and nutritional educational programs for community members leaders and citizen scientists. 2.b. Develop the farm site project for planting growing and recreational space using a design studio approach. Specific Aim 3: Assess the development process and early outcomes of the farm program using an implementation science framework and refine the public health action plan for dissemination to reduce food insecurity regain food sovereignty and improve community health. Impact and Public Health Action: This R2A project seeks to identify and implement safe and nutritious farming practices and restore food sovereignty among an environmentally-impacted and marginalized semiurban Tribal Nation through development of a farming system program supported by the Turtle Clan-founded Munsee Three Sisters Medicinal Farm.6 This study will integrate a culturally-centered environmental road map created from community input for food sovereignty and sustainability that will be shared and disseminated to other environmentally-impacted Nations. We will use mixed methods and an implementation science framework to build best practices successful program components and cultural and traditional meaning for translation and dissemination to other Tribal communities leading to an environmental public health action plan based on our research findings. Collaborative strategies and implementation will be guided by a quote from the Ramapough Turtle Clan Chief who states that Return of healthy soil on our farm will allow healthy plant production resulting in healthy foods to nurture our bodies and mind with optimum results, $0, $0, $0| Building a multisectoral coalition is critical; the theory is that a diverse will create a local or statewide campaigns that build movement for jobs justice and climate action.grant 30,000 in toe 15,000 onstallments, $0, $0, $0| Improve Native American communities through organizing for advocacy and seek to improve policies and rules that impact the community 34,000, $0, $0, $0| Native Americans NA suffer from worse health poor nutrition reduced quality of life and shorter lifespans than their non-Native counterparts. 1 This is due mostly to disparate disease burdens inadequate education food instability disproportionate poverty loss of infrastructure and cultural practices as well as contaminated soils that grow traditional food sources.
