This ACF plan of action is entitled Culture is Prevention: A Strength Based, Culturally Grounded Journey Toward Prevention, Intervention, and Healing (MMIP Action Plan or “MAP”). ACF recognizes that enduring change must be grounded in culture and self-governance. It is important for non-Native persons to understand that culture to Native American/Indigenous peoples is not merely a social preference, but an ancient cognitive map on how to be and a way of knowing. Moreover, hundreds of years across many generations have taught that culture-based activities and interventions improve Native/Indigenous health and wellbeing. Accordingly, this MMIP Action Plan blends cultural values with the four public health pillars of prevention, intervention, healing, and response to support optimal outcomes in the delivery of ACF programs and services to Native people and communities.
