Her research began with studies on Native American women and their health care in an Indian Health Service clinic and has continued with health and health education of culturally diverse people in the US and internationally. Her ethnographic/language analysis research focuses on contemporary American Indian, African American, and international cultures' social issues, health, and other socio-cultural issues for women.
