Abstract

Among the eight tribes within North Carolina, American Indian communities experience disparate rates of poverty, low education, chronic disease, low access to health care, and low quality of life. Addressing inequities and knowledge gaps will require novel and culturally appropriate approaches designed in partnership with AI communities, and should be underscored by the cultural assets those communities possess.
