This article concludes that mainstream nutrition approaches inadequately capture the full meaning of nourishment for Indigenous peoples, as they neglect critical spiritual, emotional, and relational aspects. By centering Indigenous worldviews and lived experiences, the Indigenous Nourishment Model offers a more comprehensive and culturally appropriate framework. This model not only challenges deficit-based narratives and epistemic injustices but also provides practical guidance for developing, implementing, and evaluating nutrition initiatives that honor and leverage the strengths of Indigenous foodways and knowledge systems. Ultimately, such holistic approaches can foster greater health equity and well-being for AI/AN/NH communities and beyond.
