| This session will examine the intersection of health and human rights for three groups of indigenous peoples in this country and New Zealand: American Indians, Maori, and Alaska Natives. Both historical and current social/political issues will be discussed to develop understanding of the bases for health conditions and programs of these unique groups and to describe and propose measures to reduce or eliminate health disparities among them. | |||
| Learning Objectives: 1. To understand the health needs and status of American Indian people as they are affected by human rights considerations. 2. To understand the impact on health of Maori people in New Zealand of the social justice issues such as colonization and neo-liberal reforms. 3. To understand the interaction of health and human rights of the various groups of Alaska Natives in the context of historical and cultural trauma. | |||
