Speak with your doctor about Colorectal Cancer |
|
National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month reminds us that early detection is key to treating colorectal cancers. The month-long observance shines a spotlight on risk factors, research, and aims to raise awareness.
While early detection and treatments make a difference, there is more that can be done. Knowing the causes and risk factors helps prevent colorectal cancer.
Risk Factors We Control
- Diet – Studies show that diets rich in red and processed meats may contribute to colorectal cancer risks. Also, how we prepare our proteins may increase our risk, too. Grilling, frying, and high-temperature cooking release chemicals that may contribute to colorectal cancer risks. Diets full of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains reduce our risk of colon cancer as well as other health risks.
- Exercise – Sedentary lifestyles and obesity are two more risk factors for colorectal cancer. Once again, physical activity helps to reduce our risk factors for another disease.
- Smoking and heavy alcohol use – Quit the one and limit the other. Ask your physician if you need help with either one.
- Family history – While you can’t control this, you can know it. Report it to your primary care physician so if your family history shows an increased risk for you, she can decide if you need early screening. Knowledge is power.
Take action during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Speak with your doctor about your risk factors and collect your family history. Visit www.cancer.org to learn more about risk factors, early detection, and treatment.

Tribal Administration and Red Cliff Community Health Center employees wore blue last week to help spread awareness for early recognition of colorectal cancer. |

Harm Reduction - Keep our Community "SAFE" |
|
Saving lives from HIV and Hepatitis C requires aggressive strategies to reach people at high risk. The purpose of the Red Cliff SAFE Program is to help reduce harm from risky behaviors.
The SAFE Program is operated out of the Red Cliff Community Health Center. This program is available to all members of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa as well as surrounding communities. Individuals can access clean syringes, sharps containers, sterile water, antibiotic cream, alcohol wipes, and condoms. By improving access to these materials, we help people who inject heroin, meth, and other drugs to reduce their risk of contracting HIV and Hepatitis C.
In addition, the Red Cliff Community Health Center now offers Narcan. Narcan is for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose. When you come in for our needle exchange, you can request a dose(s) of Narcan at no charge to you.
If you or a loved one are at risk for HIV or Hepatitis C, we will never judge you or your behaviors. You can access the services by simply stopping at the health center reception and asking for the SAFE Program. The services are provided within the health center setting and are completely confidential.
The goal is to expand sites within the next year. The current services are available Monday – Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm except holidays. You can get more information by calling (715) 779-3707.

NARCAN Training Available |
|
Have you been trained and are looking to get a refresher or are you looking to get trained in the use of NARCAN?
It only takes 30 minutes to learn how to save someone from an overdose.
Do you own a business in Red Cliff and want to get trained? A training for you and your employees can be arranged.
If you’re interested in learning more, please contact Justin Hansen at the Noojimo’iwewin Center at 715-779-3707 ext. 2397 or jhansen@redcliffhealth.org

Nutrition Education: Reading Labels |
|
Reading labels can help you make informed food choices. Packaged foods and drinks—the types that come in cans, boxes, bottles, jars, and bags—have a lot of nutrition and food safety information on their labels or packaging. Look for these things on the food label.
Product Dates
You might see one of three types of product dates on some foods you buy:
· “Sell by” tells how long the manufacturer suggests that a store should sell foods like meat, poultry, eggs, or milk products—buy it before this date.
· “Use by” tells how long the food will be at peak quality—if you buy or use it after that date, some foods might be stale or less tasty.
· “Best if used by” (or “best if used before”) tells how long the food has the best flavor or quality—it does not suggest a date by which the food should be purchased.
Product dates are not safety dates and are not required by federal regulations (except on infant formula). They are added voluntarily by manufacturers.
Ingredient List
This tells you each ingredient in the food product by its common or usual name. Did you know that the ingredients are listed in descending order by weight? That is, the ingredient that weighs the most is listed first, and the ingredient that weighs the least is listed last.
Nutrition Facts Label
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires a Nutrition Facts label on most packaged foods and beverages. At the top of the Nutrition Facts label, you will find the total number of servings in the container and the food or drink’s serving size. The serving size on the label is based on the amount of food that people typically eat at one time and is not a recommendation of how much to eat.
Daily Value
Percent Daily Value (DV) is a reference amount of a nutrient to consume or not to exceed each day. The percent Daily Value (%DV) tells you how much a nutrient in a serving of the food contributes to a total daily diet. Daily Values are based on a 2,000-calorie diet, so if you are eating fewer calories and eat a serving of this food, your %DV will be higher than what you see on the label. Some nutrients on the Nutrition Facts label do not have a %DV, so use the number of grams to compare and choose products.
Most Americans exceed the recommended limits for saturated fats, sodium, and added sugars. Compare and choose foods to get less than 100% DV of these nutrients each day.
Many Americans also do not get the recommended amounts of dietary fiber, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium. Eating enough foods that contain these nutrients can reduce the risk of developing some diseases and conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and high blood pressure. Compare and choose foods to aim for 100% DV of these nutrients.

NAIHC Launches Housing Assistance Resource Hub for Native Homeowners
Website lists tribal and state mortgage, utilities and rental assistance services
|
|
“It’s important for our indigenous people and families to have access to programs that can help make life a little easier during an already challenging time, and the National American Indian Housing Council’s Tribal Housing Assistance Resource Hub offers a centralized location to find tribal housing services,” said Adrian Stevens, NAIHC board chair and executive director of Seneca Housing Authority. “With funding from HAF and ERAP programs, tribes are continuing or expanding their housing assistance services to tribal members living on and off tribal land. For families across Indian Country adjusting to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, these emergency housing assistance programs can be vital to keeping a roof over their heads.”
Congress established the HAF and ERAP in response to the pandemic to help states and tribes alleviate the impacts of COVID-19. The HAF provides a minimum of $50 million for each state and $498 million collectively for tribes or Tribally Designated Housing Entities and the Department of Hawaiian Homelands. At the Resource Hub website, visitors can scroll over a map and click on a state to find a listing of state and tribal HAF and ERAP services as well as all housing services offered by tribal housing programs in that state, such as home loan assistance, homebuyer education, elder and veteran housing and other services.
“NAIHC appreciates our partner, Wells Fargo, for supporting housing assistance programs and offering platforms to share information, resources and opportunities for homeowners across tribal communities,” said Chair Stevens.
Over the past three years, NAIHC, with assistance from Wells Fargo Foundation, has awarded nearly 40 tribes with additional funding to provide maintenance needs for senior-owned homes and offer additional resources to address the impacts of COVID-19. Also, with help from Wells Fargo, NAIHC moved its Leadership Institute training program designed for tribal housing professionals to an online platform while continuing to provide needed technical assistance directly to tribal housing programs. The Housing Assistance Resource Hub is another project that strengthens the collaboration between NAIHC and Wells Fargo.
“Wells Fargo is proud to support the great work of NAIHC in addressing the critical housing challenges facing American Indian, Alaskan Natives and Native Hawaiians over the last several years -- especially in advancing NAIHC’s work in keeping people housed and supporting tribal members in accessing the critical homeowner and rental assistance that is available,” said Eileen Fitzgerald, head of Wells Fargo housing affordability philanthropy.

Attention Members Participating in the Emergency Rental Assistance Program |
|
Since March 2021, the Red Cliff Emergency Rental Assistance Program has successfully assisted Red Cliff tribal households renting in Bayfield and Ashland Counties, with rent, rental arrears, utilities, utility arrears, and security deposits. ERA was designed to provide temporary relief to allow households impacted by the pandemic to stay in their homes.
Red Cliff's ERA program recently passed a milestone. 90% of available funds have now been paid to landlords and utility companies on behalf of 275 participating households.
Current funding is expected to run out around May 31, 2022. Red Cliff has requested additional funds from the U.S. Treasury to maintain the program through September. However, at this time, the Tribe cannot guarantee any further payments beyond May 31.
Payments are now in process to cover rent, internet, water and sewer through May. Assistance for home energy and electricity for March, April, and May will still be provided when those bills come available. If you anticipate your household will continue to require help, we encourage you to view the enclosed materials describing the Wisconsin Emergency Rental Assistance Program, Wisconsin Home Energy Assistance Program, and Affordable Connectivity Program. We are ready to assist you with any documentation that may be required by these programs.
Feel free to contact us at (715) 779-3700 or RCERA@redcliff-nsn.gov with any questions.
We apologize for any inconvenience or confusion.
Sincerely,
ERA Staff
