Abstract

Working and living on the Navajo Nation and observing limited healthcare available exposes deficits that call for correction. The challenge is to expand knowledge of isolated groups of Native Americans, Aborigines, and all indigenous people and to advocate for meeting their needs to elevate their standard of living, including healthcare.
