Anishinaabe Smoking Cessation Project



Participating Tribes:

All tribes and tribal agencies in the state of Michigan are represented.



Overview
Because of unique cultural concerns and the extremely high smoking rates found among tribal members, the ITC of Michigan member tribes have identified a great need for an in-depth approach to cessation that distinguishes between traditional use of tobacco and addictin to cigarettes. The proposed Anishinaabe, or first people, Cessation Project will reduce the number of Michigan Native Americans who smoke by implementing an effective and culturally appropiated smoking cessation program among our tribal communities.
