Health of Native People of North America: A Bibliography and Guide to Resources, 1970-1994 / Edition 1

In addition to information included in "standard" biomedical and health care resources, such as peer-reviewed journals, texts, and reference books, includes references to specialized resources like associations, publications, dissertations, agency and committee reports, audiovisual materials, and book chapters. While these "other" resources are often left out of more traditional guides and indexes, many of them were written by members of the Native community or by those with an intimate understanding of Native ways. Hence, they can provide unique and valuable insight into the many professional, personal and cultural issues inherent in providing healthcare services to the Native community. Gray has also included information on health organizations, facilities and agencies serving the Native community, as well as information on educational programs for healthcare professionals that address Native cultural issues.
