CROW AGENCY, Mont. — Worlds away from Washington, Audrey Costa wondered aloud about keeping her family warm. A mother of three, she relies on lease payments from the Bureau of Indian Affairs on land owned by her family, which can run up to a few hundred dollars a year, to pay for food and electricity.

Farm to school practices are always instituted at the local level because each community has its own set of unique challenges, needs and opportunities. Schools serving Native American communities are a great example of this. A number of Native communities across the country are turning to farm to school practices as a mean to preserve Native food and agricultural traditions while addressing the disproportionately high rates of food-related illnesses and food insecurity they face. Jesse Padron of the Oneida Nation School System offers these...

Some people notice flu-like symptoms immediately after getting a shot, but that can be from your immune system making antibodies to the killed viruses in the vaccine. 2. The nasal flu vaccine can give you the flu. False. Unlike the flu shot, which contains killed viruses, the nasal spray vaccine does cont...

I’ve been thinking lately about an expression I once heard from a Russian friend: “The full to the table of the hungry do not go.” I suppose it’s on my mind because of the news from Washington: the well-fed insisting on political grandstanding they surely know will cause great hardship to the poorest among us.
