Native American communities prioritize culture, recruitment to treat mental health

To better treat mental illness in Native American communities, programs in Minnesota and around the region are focused on training more Native providers, and incorporating traditional culture and values into treatment.

What else we're watching:

UMN researcher dives into transportation happiness. University of Minnesota professor Yingling Fan’s research shows that environmentally friendly commutes are among the happiest, although bus commutes rank low. Car commutes fit somewhere in the middle.
More women are getting into archery and hunting thanks to one woman. Archery is an ideal sport for beginners of all ages — you don’t have to be particularly strong, athletic or fast to hit a target. It just takes a lot of focus. At least, that’s what Dana Keller teaches her students at A1 Archery in Hudson, Wis. Keller is a Level 3 USA archery coach and bow hunter. And she’s been instrumental in training a growing number of women archers and hunters how to work a bow. As Minnesota’s deer archery hunting season continues, Keller joined Minnesota Now to share tips for new archers.

First frost coming this week for the Twin Cities? Highs in the 70s to start October will come to an abrupt end as the coldest air of the season moves in Thursday into Friday, possibly touching off the season’s first frost for Minneapolis and St. Paul. Frosts are generally coming later due to climate change, which is also creating longer growing seasons and longer allergy seasons.
