Shé:kon! Hello!
Since 1994, the Kahnawà:ke Schools Diabetes Prevention Program (KSDPP) has been committed to preventing type 2 diabetes in Kahnawà:ke. We empower the community through our unique diabetes prevention model which is based on Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) values. We collaborate with community organizations on a shared vision of diabetes prevention activities that reach the whole community.
In partnership with Kahnawà:ke and universities, we continue to develop our research model based on the experiences of Kahnawakehró:non (people of Kahnawà:ke), our staff and researchers. Our model is shared with Indigenous communities and others involved with diabetes prevention. KSDPP trains a significant number of Indigenous people in diabetes prevention intervention and research activities.
