Our Purpose
Ḵulus was created to address one of the most urgent health challenges facing Indigenous communities today, diabetes, through a model that returns ownership, respect, and voice to the people most affected.
This is not charity. It’s self-determination.
We work with communities, not on them, building tools that align with traditional values, local capacity, and intergenerational knowledge.
Why It Matters: Diabetes affects Indigenous communities at up to five times the national average, not by chance, but because of systemic barriers and lost connection to traditional foods, activity, and self-determination.
