Healthy Smile, Happy Child
Indigenous populations in Canada are disproportionately affected by early childhood caries. The Healthy Smile, Happy Child initiative utilizes a community development approach to encourage community uptake of evidence-based early childhood oral health promotion strategies. Sharing circles and focus groups elicited First Nations and Metis (Indigenous peoples of mixed Indigenous-European, primarily French, ancestry) views on the challenges of keepi…
First Nations and Metis peoples’ access and equity challenges with early childhood oral health
Closing existing early childhood oral health gaps for First Nations and Metis peoples and communities requires equity-oriented healthcare approaches to address specific problems and challenges faced by these populations. Family, community and systemic level interventions that directly implement community recommendations are needed
Indigenous community members' views on silver diamine fluoride to manage early childhood caries
Indigenous parents' acceptance of SDF as a treatment option is contingent on having more information and assurance that treatment under GA can be avoided. Understanding Indigenous parents' views may ensure better acceptance of SDF as a minimally invasive treatment option to manage ECC. A cautious and informative approach to SDF implementation in Indigenous communities is recommended
Predictors of Women’s Satisfaction with Prenatal Care in a Canadian Setting
An Untouchable Community in South India
While many studies suggest that Indian Untouchables do not entirely share the hierarchical values characteristic of the caste system, Michael Moffatt argues that the most striking feature of the lowest castes is their pervasive cultural consensus with those higher in the system. Though rural Untouchables question their particular position in the system, they seldom question the system as a whole, and they maintain among themselves a set of hierar…
Parents’ and caregivers’ perspectives on the M anitoba Dental Association's Free First Visit program
The majority of participants liked the FFV program and believed that it should continue. Parents would benefit from further education and encouragement to seek oral care for their child by age one. Some general dentists may need further training and skills to meet the recommendations for first dental visits

Plasma lipids in two indigenous Arctic populations with low risk for cardiovascular diseases
The distribution of plasma lipids and their sociodemographic and metabolic correlates were investigated in two Arctic indigenous populations based on two health surveys conducted during 1990–1991 among adults in eight Inuit communities in the Keewatin region of the Northwest Territories, Canada (n = 387), and in four communities in the Chukotka region in the Russian Far North (n = 362). For comparison, data from the Canadian Heart Health Survey w…

Cardiovascular diseases in a Canadian Arctic population
OBJECTIVES. The purpose of this study was to review cardiovascular mortality, morbidity, and risk factors in the multiethnic population of the Northwest Territories, Canada. METHODS. We analyzed death certificates and hospital records, and used a community health and examination survey. RESULTS. The age-standardized mortality rate for ischemic heart disease (but not for other heart diseases or stroke) among the Northwest Territories population wa…
Adolescence
Educated in Romance
Is more important to women in college than grades are? Why do so many women enter college with strong academic backgrounds and firm career goals but leave with dramatically scaled-down ambitions? Dorothy C. Holland and Margaret A. Eisenhart expose a pervasive culture of romance on campus: a high-pressure peer system that propels women into a world where their attractiveness to men counts most
Ethnographic Writing about American Culture
Anthropologists have done more research in the United States in the last dozen years than in the entire previous history of the discipline-far more, perhaps twice as much. Some reasons for this boom may be paradigmatic: heightened interdisciplinarity and genre-blurring all through the social sciences and humanities, postcolonial critiques of First-World/Third-World distinctions foundational to an older anthropology, new forms of older concerns ab…
College Life
College in the United States is an odd mixture of higher learning and youth culture for its students, and it has been for over a hundred years. In the late nineteenth century American undergraduates themselves invented the youth culture of outside-the-classroom-college, naming it and passing it down to future generations. What has happened to this same youth culture among the students in the 1980s? In an effort to find out, I used anthropological…

Coming of age in New Jersey
To present these thoughtfully crafted case studies of undergraduate culture, the author did what anthropologists usually do in more distant cultures: he lived among the natives. His findings are sometimes disturbing, potentially controversial, but somehow very believable. This text presents a vivid slice of life of what the author saw and heard in the dorms of a typical state university, Rutgers, in the 1980s.

Collective Representation in American Anthropological Conversations
The paper is an investigation into the conversational processes which lead to a peculiarly American appropriation of the holistic intuition into the nature of culture. The individualism of American culture is well known. The fact that one can find in the United States many statements that go beyond individualism (e.g., in the Pragmatist tradition) is either ignored or used as an argument for the impossibility of speaking of an "American" culture.…

Harijan religion
The religion of Indian Untouchables (Harijans) is often described and analyzed variationally, suggesting that Untouchables differ significantly in religion from those above them because of their lowermost position in the caste system. This paper challenges this variational emphasis. It examines the conceptualizations and ritual actions of a group of South Indian Harijans in their worship of "divine beings" and concludes that Harijan religion is c…
