Vaping Is Not Our Lifeway is a community-led curriculum co-created by White Earth Nation Tribal Public Health and the Tobacco Coalition, with guidance from community advisors. Grounded in Anishinaabeg knowledge and traditions, it supports parents, elders, and caregivers in understanding the harms of vaping while strengthening connections to culture, identity, and responsibility to one another.
Through dedicated youth and elder versions, the curriculum creates opportunities for reflection, shared learning, and intergenerational conversation—supporting collective care for the health of our people.
