AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source surveys changes in the number and quality of Navajo health services, beginning with the reluctance of the tribe to the introduction of Euro-American medicine and ending with the training of Navajo doctors. The role of Annie Wauneka as a health educator is discussed, as is this relationship between traditional Navajo beliefs about illness and Western ideas.
