SUMMARY:Cultural-responsivity\, education\, and health in Anishinaabe 
 communities\, Chaos & Complex Systems Seminar\, Tim Frandy\, UW Depart
 ment of Medicine and Public Health
DESCRIPTION:For the past few decades\, culture and cultural-responsivi
 ty have increasingly been viewed as important within indigenous commun
 ities to improve educational systems and public health outcomes. More 
 than a decade of research has shown the positive impacts of culturally
 -responsive teaching in Native communities\, and recent research has s
 hown correlation with language and cultural maintenance programs in Fi
 rst Nations communities to dramatically lower diabetes rates.  This pr
 esentation will discuss discuss research conducted in partnership betw
 een UW-Madison and the Lac du Flambeau Anishinaabe community that has 
 used indigenous methodologies and cultural revitalization to improve h
 ealth and educational outcomes.  This work raises new possibilities fo
 r interdisciplinary collaborative research and lower-cost solutions to
  improve complex social problems in marginalized communities.
