Welcome to Food Is Our Medicine, Healthy First Nations
The Food Is Our Medicine Project is a partnership between the Seneca Nation of Indians and the Seneca Diabetes Foundation (SDF). Although independent of the Seneca Nation, the SDF works to raise money to fund Seneca Nation health, wellness and recreation programs in order to positively affect the impact diabetes has on Seneca people of all ages.

Community volunteers help plan, orchestrate and maintain our community gardens, events, and outreach. Our goal is to revitalize our traditional Native foods.
