Smoking rates are high among Native Americans. Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in Buffalo and the New York Quitline hope to change that with a culturally adapted program.
This November, during Native American Heritage Month, communities throughout New York state will celebrate the culture and traditions of Indigenous peoples. Yet, a disproportionate number of those from Native Nations experience adverse health resulting from commercial tobacco use. Specialists with the New York State Smokers' Quitline are ready to assist members of Native Nations and all who live throughout the state with free and confidential resources to quit.
Celebration of Nations offers a lot to see and do. Arts, dance, music and more showcase talents of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

Native American populations suffer a disproportionate number of certain cancer diagnoses and deaths. They also have a history of not trusting the healthcare system, for numerous reasons. A newly-announced partnership aims at bringing support and building trust directly to the Seneca Nation. Under the partnership announced by the JC Seneca Foundation and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, the latter will provide patient navigation and screening services at the Native Pride Travel Plaza, on Seneca’s Tallchief Territory property.
