Tuesday, December 6, 2016 - The importance of cooking
Cooking connects people with their food on a personal, nutritional and even spiritual level. But it's easy to drift away from your kitchen range when there's an ever-growing freezer section in the grocery store. The trend is clear in a two-year-old study by the marketing group, NPD: there's a steady decline in the number of people who say they don't cook. For Native Americans, there's the potential added loss of traditional practices. Should you spend more time in the kitchen?

Thursday, December 8, 2016 - Managing diabetes during the holidays
We tend to amp up the cakes, cookies and other tasty foods filled with sugar, salt and carbs during holiday seasons. That can get people with diabetes in trouble. It can cause unsafe spikes in blood sugar levels in the short term and lead to unhealthy weight gain in the long term. So are people with diabetes doomed to sacrifice during feast times? We'll see what some solutions are and get ideas for ways to enjoy celebratory meals without overindulging.

When tobacco smoke threatens non-smokers
Tobacco smoke contributes to 41,000 non-smoker deaths every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A handful of studies, including one by the Proceedings of the National Academies of Sciences, suggest even thirdhand smoke-chemicals and residue from tobacco smoke that settle on walls, clothes and furniture-might also cause harm, mostly for people in smokers' homes. Some tribes ban commercial tobacco smoking in certain areas. But is that enough to protect children and other nonsmokers?

There's no prize for appropriation
The editor of "Write" magazine came under fire for an editorial he wrote called "Winning the appropriation prize." In it, he encouraged authors to appropriate more; to write more about cultures and people they don't identify with. That sparked a debate on appropriation as other editors and authors from Canadian media weighed in. Are people missing something about appropriation? We'll talk with Indigenous writers from Canada about what appropriation is and how it affects Native people.

Suicide prevention for young people
The new Netflix series 13 Reasons Why has suicide experts debating the appropriate ways to address suicide in the media. Some are praising the show's candid look at bullying, sexual assault and suicide, while others say it glorifies troubling issues for a vulnerable population. A show centered around suburban, white teenagers may not resonate with some Native youth. But the series does present an opportunity to revisit the many ways to reach out to Native youth that experience dramatically higher rates of suicide than any other group. We'll talk with experts and youth about what it takes to save young lives.
