Spirit Within Project
Traditional and Contemporary Health and Wellness
Wakȟáŋ Tȟáŋka, Lakota for "the great spirit" or "spirt within", is what drives the DIHFS Health & Wellness Department. The Spirit Within Project (SWP) aims to cultivate traditional protective factors and cultural practices to address and prevent health disparities such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. SWP focuses on four strategies to improve overall health and wellness which include diabetes prevention/treatment/management, nutrition counseling, physical activity training, and community wellness events.
