American Indian populations continue to suffer disproportionately from health problems including such nutrition-related chronic diseases as diabetes and heart disease. This research project will therefore investigate how a traditional Indigenous food called chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) impacts epigenetic and metabolic health in relation to resiliency markers in American Indian participants. The process of research with American Indian communities is significant in that it can inform best practices in community engagement orientations, approaches, and models in future research settings.
