“…AIAN communities exemplify “communities of memory,” in which members share a sense of belonging, kinship, cultural identity, connectedness, and history, with understanding of the intrinsic meaning of these values for their people ( 51 ). The power of stories to create hope for the future, told and retold over generations, is time-tested.…”

Purpose and Objectives We aimed to determine why the Eagle Books, an illustrated series for American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) children to address type 2 diabetes, remain viable long after their release. We sought to answer 2 questions: Why did the books maintain popularity? What factors have sustained them? Intervention Approach Type 2 diabetes burgeoned in the US after World War II, compounding a long legacy of injustices for AIAN peoples. By the 1980s, their rates soared above those of White people. Concerned for future generations, Tribal Leaders suggested that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Indian Health Service use traditional storytelling to teach children about staying healthy. Public health interventions are most effective when culture and history are integrated into health education, particularly stories to address a relatively new disease for AIAN peoples. Evaluation Methods From 2008 through 2013, we conducted a case study among 8 tribal communities to evaluate the uptake of the Eagle Books across Indian Country. To understand the Eagle Books’ sustained appeal, in 2022 we reanalyzed the original case study themes and analyzed for the first time themes that emerged from evaluation results in the Eagle Books’ program literature. These were programs that had independently evaluated their use of the Eagle Books and published their findings. Results Outcomes demonstrated continuous application of the Eagle Books in diverse community interventions, influencing children's healthy choices. Community implementers described sustainability components, such as the books’ versatility, flexibility of use, and availability online and in print. Implications for Public Health Historical, social, economic, and environmental health determinants intersect with biological and behavioral factors to weave a complex web of causation for type 2 diabetes, beginning early in life. Compelling, colorful stories reflecting traditional wisdom and respect for Western and Indigenous science — through the eyes of a wise eagle, a clever rabbit, a tricky coyote, and kids in T-shirts and sneakers — can positively influence community health.

This research extended earlier public goods research on individual incentives to use an organizational information commons that was based in Marwell and Oliver's (1993) collective action model. A revised theoretical model that incorporated team-level social infl uence and technology-specifi c competence was proposed. The model was tested using online survey data from 150 individuals in 13 work groups across 5 organizations. The research demonstrated that perceived team member behavior and technology-specifi c competence were positively related to individual use of intranets, over and above the collective level infl uences modeled in earlier research. These fi ndings supported a more "socialized" model of individuals' motivations to participate in organizational information sharing via collective repositories and suggested that management could boost levels of intranet usage through group level social infl uence and technology-specifi c training.
