Reviews

To come


This book provides much-needed perspective on Indigenous concepts of health and unwellness, particularly the essential interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit, which is often unrecognized or ignored in Western-based service delivery. Narratives captivate and inform the reader as to Indigenous world-views offering wisdom and insight on how belief systems of Native Peoples can be integrated with modern health care. Lovern and Locust illuminate practices that can advance equality and respect, help remedy historical inequities, and improve treatment adherence and health outcomes. The authors offer sound advice for care-givers and general readers on how to foster harmony, balance, and wellness amidst the demands of modern life. - Claudia Maria Vargas, Professor of Public Administration, Center for Public Service, Mark O. Hatfield School of Government, Portland State University, USA
