Description
Summary:The first half of the book describes the evolution and historical development of the Indian Health Service, taking into account perspectives of former IHS nurses and knowledge of general TB treatment routines used in the Indian hospitals. First Nations health suffered greatly during the last century. Healing Histories should be required reading for all health care workers, students, academics, policy-makers, front line workers in the traditional and allopathic healthcare field, and those seeking to gain an understanding of how First Nations people have been affected by colonial federal policy.
