| This year’s conference theme, Public Health and the Environment, recognizes that which Native communities have held sacred: the earth is our mother and it is upon her shoulders that our future generations stand. This session will explore new initiatives and efforts to improve the health and well-being of the environment and Native communities through heightened awareness by Tribal members and Tribal health providers about the hazards of environmental contaminants, increased collaborative activities to ensure cultural sensitivity to community issues related to pesticides, cross cultural assessment of risk communication and risk determination processes of repatriated sacred objects preserved in pesticides, and the revision of information that is acceptable and available to Tribal communities during terrorist threats. Many of the strategies and projects described have global applicability. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1) recognize or diagnose illnesses related to hazardous substances, 2) identify the best climate to ensure Tribal-university collaborations, 3) recognize the need for Tribal voices concerning repatriation of preserved and sacred objects, and 4) list possible trusted and preferred sources of information accessed by American Indian populations. | |||
