Notes from the Cornfield

'Notes from the Cornfield' provides insights from a Navajo community practitioner who partnered with multiple Navajo communities to increase access to healthy food. In the process, common themes emerged across the intervention sites that are noteworthy and recommended to employ when partnering with Indigenous communities. Inclusion of Navajo culture to ground and guild health promotion frameworks, revitalization of Navajo agroecological practices, restoration of traditional food, and alignment with policy to promote sustainability all became important for intervention success. Author shares experience so others can gain from his work in multiple cornfields across the Navajo Nation.
