I have a question. Are the Pima Indians living on a reservation or an area largely populated by Pimas?

Now the reason for my question. The government funds food to some native american indians and while they are given canned meats, veggies and fruits they are also given large quantities of grains. Actually you were given everything to feed your family except salt and sugar.

The books sound like a great idea, but I was in a largely populated native american area and there were a lot that didn't even speak english, very broken and relied on their children or grand children to interpret.

This may be more of a case of someone able to go in and teach them about eating healthier, excercising effectively for their health. Maybe even reading and explaining the book to them, how to put it into practice.

I don't want to discourage you, just this was my experience, something to think on.
