Any Native Americans out there?

Published

Are you a Native American or mix blood? Do you hold on to any Native American beliefs? How does this impact you as a nurse? I am part Blackfoot/Cherokee. I try to see others as "relatives" (brothers and sisters) to myself. Implimenting this belief sounds easy, but often is a great challenge with disrespectful, demanding patients. However, I try.

I'm half Lumbee indian, my mother is full blooded, and as far as I know my dad has no indian blood. I however was raised by my g'parents and have not learned much about the Lumbee tribe, I do know that most are based out of NC, where I was born, and I would like to go back and to one of the Pow-wow's and learn more about the heritage.
