OUTREACH AT ONEIDA. In coordination with Dr. Robert Dempsey’s Stroke Prevention in the Wisconsin Native American Population Study, Health Coach Amanda Riesenberg hosted a tribal event in late June at the Oneida Nation near Green Bay, WI. Families learned the history of the long house, sorted The Three Sisters seeds, identified native plants on a nature walk, ate buffalo wild rice casserole, and explored the connection between traditional teaching and modern medicine at the Amelia Cornelius Culture Park.
