Nursing for IHS in Arizona

Hi. I am a newly graduated nurse and I am wondering about the IHS facilities in Arizona, specifically the Navajo, Hopi, and Apache. I am one of the whitest people you will ever meet. I am wondering if any of the above mentioned tribes treat the white nurses any different than the native nurses. I currently live in Las Cruces, NM and have had the opportunity to provide care to Mescalero Apache patients throughout my clinical experiences, and the patients have been wonderful. The area I live in has a huge Native American history, and I have really learned a lot from what I have been exposed to thus far. If anybody could give me some insight into my prospective area of practice, I would be very grateful.
