Dakota is 45 years old and has been experiencing signs of developing diabetes for some time, though they have gone unnoticed until the weekend of her daughter’s basketball tournament down at the chapter house. While watching her daughter play, she was able to make an appointment to see a traveling physician who recognized her low energy levels and tendency to be overweight, thus diagnosing her with Type II Diabetes.
The majority of people on Navajo Nation have to travel great distances for water due to lack of plu mbing facilities within their home.

The doctor told Dakota if she was able to lose just ten pounds while implementing a healthier diet, she would see noticeable changes in a relatively short period of time.
Sports Addiction
Between a couple of her daughters’ basketball games, she noticed a display on a greenhouse technology and a sign-up sheet for classes on cultivating and preparing traditionally healthy food.
People drink filtered water. Animals drink tainted water. People eat animals.
Dakota told her sister about the classes and the two decided to join weekly gardening and food preparation classes. During these classes they were not only participating in a form of effortless exercise, but also learning the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.
Dakota [friend]
“Gardeners are more likely to adopt healthier dietary habits by consuming what they produce. Also, gardening does not immediately come to mind as a form of physical activity...and is ranked highest in exercise preference among diabetic adults and individuals.” - rrh.deakin.edu.au

Kai is 14 years old living in Coppermine with her mother and father, grandfather, aunt and two cousins. Her mother and aunt are both diabetic and her grandfather is an alcoholic.
Poor diet, lack of resources, and lack of physical activity contribute to reduced energy levels and aid in Kai’s obesity that started at a very young age. Losing just ten pounds would make a huge impact on her obesity and greatly reduce her chances of developing diabetes later on in life.

What are the root causes of the suicide problematic symptoms of poor health? Can a health clinic alone address these concerns? Can solving a different problem through a preventative approach allow you to stop a problem before it starts?
Are we solving the wrong problems? Would it be more beneficial to cure a symptom or prevent a symptom? Does a curative response act as a cure or act as a crutch?
