Developing culturally-responsive health promotion
Culturally-responsive health promotion initiatives are important to the creation of health equity for Indigenous and minority populations and these initiatives are complex and time-intensive to establish. The knowledge and resources of cultural experts are often pivotal in programs, yet there is minimal research on effective collaborations. The KāHOLO Project demonstrated strong success in the management of uncontrolled hypertension in the high-r…
Violence and Order in the Activities of Nepalese Shamans
When abuses of power are committed by those of unchallenged authority, how can justice be established? In the previous century's still-feudal society of Western Nepal, one way to seek justice was to commit ritual suicide, becoming a 'vengeance suicide' that would plague the oppressor. 'Vengeance suicides' are one prominent class of supernatural forces among many that shamans command as they seek to manipulate the order in the world, whether to re…
Sea-Level Rise and the Marshallese Diaspora
People who have little responsibility for industrial capitalism must pay the price for global warming. The Marshall Islands of the central Pacific Ocean are among the most vulnerable locations threatened by sea-level rise and may cease to be habitable within this generation. Under its Compact of Free Association (COFA) with the United States, citizens of the Republic of the Marshall Islands travel freely to the United States without needing a vis…
Interpretive policy analysis
While the ACA and Medicaid Expansion have reduced the national uninsured rate, Marshallese COFA migrants have not benefited equally from this policy. The lack of healthcare coverage for the Marshallese COFA migrants exacerbates the health disparities this underserved population faces. This article is an important contribution to researchers because it presents the Marshallese's interpretation of the policy, which will help inform policy makers th…
Community-Based Participatory Research Integrates Behavioral and Biological Research to Achieve Health Equity for Native Hawaiians
Native Hawaiians bear a disproportionate burden of type-2 diabetes and related complications compared to all other groups in Hawai'i (e.g., Whites, Japanese, Korean). Distrust in these communities is a significant barrier to participation in epigenetic research studies seeking to better understand disease processes. The purpose of this paper is to describe the community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach and research process we employed…

The Rulings of the Night
It is impossible to discuss what shamans are and what they do, contends Gregory G. Maskarinec, without knowing what shamans say. When Maskarinec took an interest in shaman rituals on his first visit to Nepal, he was told by many Nepalis and Westerners that the shamans he had encountered in the Himalayan foothills of western Nepal engaged in meaningless mumblings. But in the course of several years of fieldwork he learned from the shamans that bot…
