My hubby is half Apache though.

May God/ The Great Spirit smile upon you and your family who has given much to this country. I have a terminal daughter, so
I can empathize with your loss. Also per Thunderwolf aka Wolfie, the roll call here acknowledges anyone of American Indian descent. So you must count my sister. I apologize for not seeing your post earlier.

ajo1,
I hope to get to know you better. i am planing to go to work at the Tuba City Hospital ER soon. I have been researching as much of the Navajo customs as possible. I don't want to do anything to offend any of my patients. That is the last thing I would want. I intend to work on Reservations fot the rest of my career. The only way I know to help, is to give of myself.
Walk in Peace,
Medicine Eagle

I'm so thrilled to meet each of you. I'm Native by adoption....my spiritual father is Cherokee and my grandfather is Osage. I've been a member of an intertribal family for a year now, learning the Traditional Red Road directly from the elders. My Indian name is Loves To Laugh, although when I'm hormonal, it's Laughs With Knives.

Zoesgarden,
You gave me a much needed laugh. I now can speak to the problem on Reservation healthcare. I came to Tuba City with a full heart. and bonded with many of my patients. This hospital provides care for the Navajo (Dine') and the Hopi Tribes. The problem is the management. I was providing geat care and learnong a great deal, when my contract was broken based on lies! I have a strong feeling that if the Navajo and Hopi Tibes were aware what was going on, they would be upset! After having over 480 treaties broken by the American Gov. I would think that they would not look kindly upon having contracts broken based on lies, with nurses who truly care aout the NAvajo and Hopi Tribes and honestly wants to improve thier care.
