THE CURRENT ISSUE THAT IS BEING ADDRESSED WITH THE TRIBAL COLLEGE EXTENSION PROGRAM SPECIAL EMPHAIS (TCEP-SE) PROJECT PROPOSAL SUBMITTED BY AANIIIH NAKODA COLLEGE (ANC) COMMUNITY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT NUTRITIONAL RESOURCES AND COMMUNITY ACCESS TO NUTRITIONAL RESOURCES. THE REASONS THIS TOPIC IS IMPORTANT IS THE FORT BELKNAP INDIAN COMMUNITY IS COMPRISED OF A LARGELY YOUNG POPULATION OF PEOPLE, WITH LIMITED HIGHER EDUCATION BACKGROUND AND RANKS AMONG ONE THE POOREST AREAS IN MONTANA. THERE IS AGRICULTURAL SUPPORT AND RESOURCES THAT COULD BE AVAILABLE IF PEOPLE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE AND AWARENESS ABOUT WHAT THOSE ARE AND HOW TO UTILIZE THEM.TO COLLECT DATA, INFORMATION WILL BE SOUGHT FROM COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS TO DERTERMINE WHAT THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE AND WHAT RESOURCES ARE AVAILABLE AND WHAT RESOURCES COULD BE IMPLEMENTED. WITH THIS INFORMATION, COMMUNITY MEMBERS WOULD HAVE THE MEANS TO ACCESS THESE RESOURCES AND FIND NEW WAYS TO GAIN WHAT THEY MAY NOT HAVE. THROUGH THESEMEANS, INCREASED NUTRITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND ACCESS WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE WHO GENERALLY DON'T HAVE IT IN A WAY THAT IS BENEFICIAL TO THEIR HEALTH. INCREASED HEALTH OF COMMUNITY MEMBERS INCREASES ECONOMIC POTENTIAL DUE TO ABILITY TO WORK AND PARTICIPATE IN THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS DECREASED HEALTH BURDEN ON WHAT IS ALREADY A LIMITED RESOURCE. ?
