National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO)

This is the website of the National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO). This Canadian not-for-profit organization aims to “advance and promote the health and well-being of all First Nations, Inuit and Métis through collaborative research, Indigenous Traditional Knowledge, building capacity, and community led initiatives.” The organization is funded through Health Canada, and publishes the Journal of Aboriginal Health.

The site is well organized, and includes a variety of publications, presentations and multi-media features which focus on the well-being of indigenous peoples in Canada. In addition, it features links to a number of social media websites (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube), as well as 10 separate blogs.

I thought this site was interesting, as healthy living (through exercise, diet, and prevention) is something I value in my personal life. This site, and the organization behind it, looks like a great resource for indigenous people in Canada.
