Rethink Your Drink

Rethink Your Drink

Rethink Your Drink aims to support our communities’ collective health efforts by building a strong agenda with a simple message; drink more ancestral beverages.

The educational resources in this toolkit remind us that genuine nourishment comes from receiving the gifts of the land – fully taking it all in, embracing what is useful, and letting go of what isn’t.

Native Infusion is a teaching toolkit aimed to support you and your community in making healthy choices about beverages. The toolkit integrates Native American cultural teachings and traditional health and nutrition concepts from the Coast Salish region.
