The Committee on
Native American Child Health (CONACH) of the American
Academy of Pediatrics develops policies and programs that
improve the health of Native American children. The CONACH
members are committed to increasing awareness of the major
health problems facing Native American children, and
monitoring legislation affecting Native American child
health. The CONACH also conducts pediatric consultation
visits to Indian Health Service (IHS) and tribal health
facilities, and works to strengthen ties with tribes
throughout the United States.

The Eagle
Books are a series of four children’s books for Native
American children and others interested in healthy
living. The books promote type 2 diabetes prevention
and encourage a return to traditional ways, including
physical activity and healthy eating. The series was
developed by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s Division of Diabetes Translation (DDT),
in collaboration with the Tribal Leaders Diabetes
Committee and the Indian Health Service, in response
to the burden of diabetes among Native Americans and
the lack of diabetes prevention materials for
children.
