About Maamuu Nakaahehtaau

In Eeyou Istchee, one out of every five adults, and a growing number of young adults and even children, have type 2 diabetes. At this rate, in 25 years 40% of all adults will be living with the disease. It’s time to stop the diabetes epidemic. The Maamuu Nakaahehtaau process, started by the Cree Health Board in 2010, has an ambitious goal of working to end the diabetes epidemic that has touched the lives of 4 generations of Cree people. Maamuu Nakaahehtaau means “Together, let’s prevent it.”
