This project was designed and funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in conjunction with the State of South Dakota. Its goal was to promote empowerment of diabetic control among community members. Projects were held in Cheyenne River in the communities of Eagle Butte and Red Scaffold with a small support group being formed out of these sessions. Other teaching sessions were held in Rapid City, specifically in the Lakota Homes section, and on the Lower Brule reservation. Staff on this project included two RN’s and one recruiter, with two of the three personnel being tribal members.
