Similar to many Indigenous groups worldwide, the James Bay Cree of northern Québec have a unexpectedly high rate of diabetes. Their method of their solution was taken from their culture: A Talking Circle in print.

Cree health representatives choose people with diabetes whose stories they thought important. Then they hired a writer to present those stories in a print format.

WE DID IT!!! With your help the National Storytelling Network has reached our year-end goal. We'd like to extend our thanks to all NSN supporters...thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

Congratulations to Pete Griffin, who's solo performance of Diary of a Forest Ranger won Best Entertainment Program (TV Division 2) at the Alaska Broadcaster's Association Goldie Awards.
