San Francisco Bay Area's Native American community faces disproportionately high rates of diabetes, heart disease, obesity and other health issues. In Alameda County alone, 6.9% of deaths among Native Americans are directly due to diabetes.

Seva, in partnership with Oakland's Intertribal Friendship House, are bringing inter-generational gardening activities, nutrition and cooking classes to serve this community.  Our holistic approach to health is a strategy that reconnects the urban community with traditional health systems, thereby building pride and self-sufficiency.
