The health status of American Indians/Alaska Natives lags behind that of the US population. American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) nurses are on the front lines of health services for AIAN people. They have the potential to make scientific contributions as well, but are under-represented among researchers working to understand health disparities. The AIAN MS-to-PhD Nursing Science Bridge, at the University of Minnesota, in partnership with the Univ…
Indigenous Women’s Voices: Marginalization and Health
Marginalization may affect health care delivery. Ways in which indigenous women experienced marginalization were examined. Data from 57 indigenous women (18 to 65 years) were analyzed for themes. Three themes emerged: historical trauma as lived marginalization, biculturalism experienced as marginalization, and interacting within a complex health care system. Experienced marginalization reflected participants’ unique perspective and were congruent…

Phenomenological Research Among Canadian and United States Indigenous Populations: Oral Tradition and Quintessence of Time
Researchers conducting phenomenological studies among indigenous peoples in the United States and Canada have identified a seamless link between phenomenology and indigenous oral tradition.

Phenomenology, as a research method, assists indigenous people in reproducing, through narrative communication, features of the…
American Indian Internet Cigarette Sales: Another Avenue for Selling Tobacco Products
A study conducted by the University of Minnesota found that cigarettes can be purchased on American Indian-owned Internet sites for about one fifth of the price at grocery stores, making this a more convenient, lower-priced, and appealing method of purchasing cigarettes. Researchers and educators are challenged to address this new marketing ploy and to discover ways to curb rising smoking rates in American Indian communities
The Experience of Native Peer Facilitators in the Campaign Against Type 2 Diabetes
Context: The use of peer facilitators in health programs has great potential. One important application is prevention and control of type 2 diabetes among American Indians.

The Talking Circles offered a forum for educational dialogue on diabetes risk factors and the management of type 2 d…
The Artistry and Ability of Traditional Women Healers
In a phenomenological research study with a purposeful sample, 6 Ojibwa and Cree indigenous women healers from Canada and the United States shared their experience of being a traditional healer. Using stories obtained during open-ended, unstructured interviews, in this article I depict the lives, backgrounds, and traditional healing practices of women who, in the past, have not been afforded an opportunity to dialogue about their healing art and …
Traditional Breastfeeding Practices of the Ojibwe of Northern Minnesota
The Ojibwe have transitioned over the past 100 years from a woodland people moving with the seasons, to forced confinement on rural reservations, to inner-city poverty. Traditionally, Ojibwe women's knowledge has been passed through the generations orally. Using ethnographic methods, data were gathered on traditional infant feeding practices from Ojibwe women (N = 44). Few of these traditions have been documented previously. Some traditions are s…
