Abstract
My curriculum unit topic is educating students on how to reconnect with traditional Indigenous
food systems and practices (as well as introducing the topic to non-native students). This curriculum will be one component of the comprehensive unit that investigates the physical health element of the “health triangle” in a typical Arizona high school health course. A health triangle is a model that emphasizes the relationship between an individual’s physical, social, and mental/emotional health, and how the elements must be in balance for excellent overall health and wellness (Marshall, 2023).
