"Happiness is healing. Elders need to taste the food they’ve grown up on so they can feel good about themselves again—it’s a healing thing." - Frank Wright, Hoonah 

The Traditional Food Guide is a 142-page full color booklet developed to provide easy-to-understand nutrition information for Alaska Native cancer survivors, their families, and health care team.

This is the first time nutrition information gathered from many sources about Alaska's wild foods is available in one booklet. The guide is accepted as a healthy lifestyles resource for anyone who eats Alaska's wild foods.

Benefits of traditional foods: 

¨      They are rich in healthy nutrients that are hard to find in store-bought foods 

¨      They contain more heart-healthy fats and less harmful fat than many store-bought foods 

¨      They nourish the body and spirit.

The Traditional Food Guide was funded by a community grant from the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
