This minor is designed to help students understand how to work respectfully and effectively with federally recognized Tribes and American Indian communities, to understand the basis of health and wellness services, and the implications of specific tribal (local and federal) law to help improve the devastating health issues currently experienced by American Indians.
Students from all races, cultures, and experiences are welcome to declare the Minor. While the focus is on American Indians, there are advantages to learning accurate history, other populations' prevention health models, innovative humility and health in all services, and the importance of using a holistic approach of health and wellness for all populations.
